Apparently I've failed my children miserably when it comes to the best holiday of the year. This morning Miss A asked repeatedly why leprechauns visit all her other friends in the neighborhood, but they don't come to our house.
"I don't believe in leprechauns. That's why they must not come to our house," I said.
"But they go to the Richardson's house. And they leave gold coins and underwear hanging on the fans. Why don't they come to our house??" she wailed.
At which point I re-explained and the conversation begun again. It was one of those that never end.
I thought I believed in all the necessary mythical creatures and people to insure that my children would grow up happy and feel loved: Santa, the Tooth Fairy, a giant bow-tie wearing rabbit. I didn't know that believing in little green men who rifle in your underwear drawers and turn your milk a sickly color was a requirement.
Oh well. There goes "Mother of the Year" again, for the 10th year in the row. Hopefully my children can survive my incompetency.

Again, "how have i not thought of it in those terms before?" :D
Jadon woke up yesterday and as he entered my bedroom he said, "Mom, i've been looking all over the house for signs of leprechauns, and I don't think they've been here!"
He was disappointed a bit. The milk did get a dose of green before he noticed, but that's all we got from the little green men this year.
What? I've never heard or leprechauns coming to one's house. I had a hard enough time remembering to get some green on my kids before they went to school, so they wouldn't get pinched. (It happened more than once.) What's next? Put a chopped down cherry tree on the front porch for President's Day?
Your children will be much happier and more loved than mine. ;) We do not believe in any mythical creatures in the Pueblo household. I'm sure my boys will be the ones ruining Santa etc for all of the other kids. I'm not a grinch, I'm just not into all that hoopla.
