Yeah, I'm so glad my children are attending public school. How else would they know when the 100th day of school is, and that Leprechauns enjoy gold dust? BTW, I glued 100 candy hearts on a piece of construction paper for my daughter. The glue started to melt them and they made a sticky smudgy mess everywhere.

Not only that, but the leprechaun left poems and painted Ian's finger green. (Tricky little bugger.) Ian couldn't figure out how his finger became green because he was sure he would feel it if the leprechaun were on his bed. Ian's now wearing it as a badge of pride, and I must admit that I understand my parents' weird sense of humor for these sort of things. I suggest next year breaking out the green food coloring to paint some fingers and toes. It's a great stress reliever. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176707597013847097.post-59082749712403317452010-03-17T11:15:39.825-04:002010-03-17T11:15:39.825-04:00You are the third blogger I've read who has ta...You are the third blogger I've read who has talked about setting leprechaun traps. I'm glad my kids haven't heard about it, because after all the rigamarole I've had to deal with with the effing tooth fairie, I can't take another magical creature in my house.hokgardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971689914882302078noreply@blogger.com
