I Am Groot

So apparently Marvel has fashioned one of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" characters after the parsnips in my garden. I keep waiting for my royalty check, but it hasn't come yet.

Personally I think this should be the next Elf on a Shelf. It meets all the requirements--a creepy creature that I've been hiding at various points in our house for my son to see. Also, Groot's original  mission was to capture humans for experimentation. And, I don't know about you, but when I see the smile on the Elf on the Shelf's face, I think, "He's probably planning to capture humans for experimentation." Twinners.
