39-year-old Amanda Johns pranked her children by shaving the word ‘elf’ into the back of her teen son’s head and said it was the ‘Elf on the Shelf.

’

The cheeky mom has used the festive trend for years to entertain her youngest daughter. But this year, she decided to involve her 16-year-old son.

Iestyn thought he would be safe from his mother’s elf but it turned out that she had surprising ideas. Amanda even told her son to miss his barber’s appointment, and now we all know why.

While Iestyn was sleeping, Amanda shaved the word ‘elf’ onto the back of his head and placed the elf beside him.

Tegan saw the picture and was completely surprised.

“I posted the photograph of Iestyn’s new hairdo on Facebook and everyone was shocked,” Amanda said. “They thought I had actually shaved his hair in his sleep, but I am not that cruel.

“He is the best big brother and will do anything to make his little sister smile – she looks forward to the elf’s antic every morning.

“She runs into my room and asks, ‘Where is the elf?!’

“But when she found him in Iestyn’s room with the clippers, she was flabbergasted. She tried to wake him up, but he is a typical teenager and loves his sleep – I think he would be more annoyed about being woken up than the hair shave.”

She added: “I am always thinking of new ideas and I planned this one a week in advance – I asked him not to get his hair cut and he asked, ‘What are you going to do now?’

“It is completely worth it to see Tegan’s face light up in the morning.

“I am always thinking of new ideas and it is a brilliant lead-up to Santa’s arrival. I have previously replaced every photo in the house with a photo of Elf and given Ilestyn a makeover.

“When Tegan had a cold, I put a skeleton on the sofa, and she believed he caught the ‘elf flu’ and needed lots of chocolate to make him better.

“It is great fun for all of us.”
