Elmo surveys the work of his minion.
Thanks, Elmo. Note: I found him standing there -- I swear I did not place him there for photographic purposes -- when I discovered that all the walls of the downstairs hall had been marked as his territory. Yet again.
Elmo attempts to gaze hypnotically into his disciple's eyes.
First he was "Mo," then he was "Momo," and then "Melmo." Clearly his name is Legion. If I have to hear his song one more time I may shoot myself. And if that happens, someone else will have to scrub those walls.
In our house, his name is "Ahmah" and his the solution to every problem, the answer to every question. Are children now programmed to fall under his power?

What a scream! I can't believe you found him right there at the wall. Ah, yes.. sweet crayon on the wall memories. We just painted our little guys room after looking at his crayon covered walls for 3 years. I didn't have the heart to paint over them :(
I asked a friend "How do I stop it!" (like it was some big mytery how all the crayon marks got on the wall). She said, "Uh, hide the crayons!". Oh.. I hadn't thought of that. And you know.. it worked!
