My children love St Patrick’s Day. In preschool the leprechaun used to mess up their classroom before they entered it. Natalie still tells the story about how in second grade Lucky the leprechaun came in and messed up their room and even put their morning story board in the bathroom, but he left gold coins for them. Last year at our house our leprechaun left them build a bear clothing for their teddy bears.
This morning I got up and made green pancakes. William woke up and checked all over the house looking for gold coins (he did not find any).
I poured the kids some milk and to my “surprise” when William looked in his cup his milk was green!
W: Mom you made my milk green.
M: Why would I make your milk green?
W: Cause its St Patty’s day.
M: No Billy I didn’t make your milk green
W: Mom you did it!
M: no
W: Mom don’t lie to me, when you lie you aren’t just lying to me you are lying to GOD too!
M:-0
M: GO GET DRESSED!
Then Natalie checked her cup and her milk was green! We looked into the milk container and it was white???? Natalie drank all her milk and wanted some more. (I don’t think she truly believed that the milk turned green on its own and she wanted to see what would happen if SHE poured some.) So as she was pouring white milk from the container it was turning green as it landed in her cup!
N: WOW! It’s leprechaun magic!
M: (In my head to myself) Whew, I got nervous for a minute there, thought my cover was blown.
N: William did you see it? It turned green when I poured it into my cup!
Well I better be on my way, the leprechaun only shows up when I leave the house and I wouldn’t want the kids to be disappointed when they get home from school today:-)
Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone, may it be a lucky one
