them PUSHED one of the others right out onto the scorching pavement. I know that there will always be sibling rivalry. Thjat is to be expected, but this time, I feel little Elmer went too far. I don’t know if Jasper is going to recover emotionally from this. I scooped him up immediately and went home and glued his toes back on, then I put ointment on his burns and pit him in his night-night spot to heal, but it’s the emotional scars that worry me. I want Elmer to apologize, but he won’t admit to any wrongdoing. Poor Jasper. Whatever shall I do??
I feel just terrible that in this day and age, garden gnomes are still not allowed in regular locations like hospitals or hardware stores so they can get help just like your poor little guy Jasper obviously needed in this situation. I’m just glad that you had the knowledge and foresight to get those toes back on yourself before they had been off too long, or there is no telling how Jasper’s future might have been affected. You should definitely be proud of yourself for taking matters into your own hands and helping the poor little guy when he needed you most.
Concerning his possible emotional scars, I read an article once entitled "There’s No Hate Like Gnome’s", and it delved deeply into the extremely strained relationships so typical in the everyday gnome family structure. It seems that the relationship between Jasper and Elmer is very typical of this phenomenon, but the article was extremely upbeat and gave a lot of hope to people like you who care for these wonderful little creatures.
It stated that a full 78.95 percent of the typical sibling rivalries between gnomes – especially the garden variety – end up with all individuals involved eventually becoming very close – even to the point of becoming business partners in their own gardening enterprise. It’s just a matter of their relationships becoming stronger once they mature a little more and get out into the garden on their own.
Though my degree in psychology is just for humans and I have absolutely no right to even pretend that I can give worthwhile counsel to your garden gnomes, I have to speculate that perhaps you can begin to cement their relationship as successfully as you cemented Jasper’s toes by showing Elmer just how his momentary cruelness toward his brother could have a far ranging detrimental affect upon their future relationship, but they will always be a part of each other and need to learn to love and cherish one another. Remind them both that gnomes are for the most part quite misunderstood in the world anyway, and the last thing they should be doing is going around making things more difficult for each other when in reality they need to be there to support one another in this anti-gnome world.
Garden variety gnomes eventually get over their individual differences, so I am certain that if you handle the situation thoughtfully, in the end your two little guys will mend the tear in their relationship, and everything will end up fine. Best of luck! Just be gentle with them, and don’t be harsh!
You can always ground the little scamp.

My wishes to Jasper!
Take away his garden privledges until he apologizes. Put your other gnome in lawn gnome therapy. Sometimes they act like that…

Make him stand in the driveway and face the garage door for a few hours.
That’ll teach him.

I would like to see you hang him upside down and put him into Paris Hilton’s jail cell for 23 days. (more or less) I hear she left some interesting graffitti on the walls.

first you need to call travelocity and talk to their union rep. elmer is a little ticked because jasper did not come when he called for backup only to have the bell hop run him over again with the baggage cart. this is a work related dispute. all you can do is keep them separated and talk with jasper about what happened and then with elmer once his toes and bottom feel better. odds are that the only resolution between the two of them will be through the travelocity union rep. the big gnome union rep controls their pention and 401ks. he can force them to act appropriately towards eachother.
i just called my friend who is a gnome psychologist. he said that the big gnome union rep is trained in inter gnome conflict resolution. he said that the big gnome union rep will be able to fix it licket split. he claims that its so easy that a cave man colud do it. oh man i shouldnt have said that now the cavemen will be upset again.
