My missus thought it would be a good idea to put my 5 year old daughter's elf on the shelf on my bass. Now I can't move the flippin elf as my daughter will be devastated because, in her words, he'll "lose his powers if I touch him". Attachment 307039

Hard to pick up a bass when entertaining a baby!

So tomorrow, the elf shows up on the missus' purse. Two can play this game... |

I can practice unplugged but after 12 hour workdays I seldom have the energy

"lose his powers if I touch him" is girl speak for "Daddy please go and buy a new bass"
