25 Elle Expressions | Day 19

Elle is Blank


It had been about six months since Elle found out she was going to be having a baby and she was still working hard at the North Pole. Despite this, changes in Elle's behaviour were noticeable. Everyone knew these quirks Elle was going through would be temporary but some were still concerned about her.

This was particularly the case during one lunch break, when Elle was on one of her cravings. Elle had been through some pretty strange cravings lately, including the likes of tuna stuffed turkeys, chocolate on sprouts and strawberry ice cream seasoned with cinnamon! Hoho and Thomas Elfison found themselves talking about Elle's cravings one lunch break.

'I'm on the chicken legs for a while, after Elle there's no way I can eat a turkey; at least not for a while.' Hoho explained. 'Can you imagine the smell of a cooked turkey stuffed with tuna?'

'Oh don't, mate! That sounds disgusting!'

'It is though, so disgusting!'

'You seen the stuff she had last week? I don't even know how she could combine Yorkshire pudding with candy canes!' Thomas gagged at the thought.

'That one doesn't sound so bad.'

'Hoho, don't!' Thomas snapped. Before the conversation could continue, Elle approached with her dinner.

'Afternoon, elves.' Elle sat down between Thomas Elfison and Hoho. They were both surprised since it appeared that Elle was eating something normal, pigs in blankets. However upon closer inspection the pigs in blankets turned out to be something more in blankets.

'Santa, what's that you're eating?' Thomas Elfison asked, trying not to sound rude.

'This? Ah well we're got sausage, stuffing and sprout leaves wrapped in bacon.' Thomas and Hoho's eyes widened in disbelief. 'Stuffed with caramel.' Hoho couldn't hide his disgust and Thomas Elfison was unable to fathom a reaction that would justify what he could see Elle eating. She didn't have a clue why everyone was acting up about it, but then against she was never ashamed of anything she ate.
