Everything you always wanted to know about leprechauns but were afraid to ask.

Setting: It is around 8:10 in the morning. Mommy, Spence, Ev and Hailey all in sitting in the minivan at school waiting for the bell to ring. An advertisement comes over the radio saying something about St. Patrick's Day.

Evan: Hey! He was talking about Patrick's Day like I learned at school!

Mommy: That's right Ev! What did you learn about St. Patrick's Day?

Evan: The guys have GOLD! In big pots! And they put it by rainbows.

Spencer: They are called leprechauns Evan, and if you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day they will pinch you!

Evan: I know! And they make shoes for fairies!

Spencer: No they don't! Fairies make their own shoes.

Evan: They do Spence! They DO make shoes for fairies! Right Mom? Spence says leprechauns don't make shoes for fairies.

Mommy: I think that sounds right. I bet they do make shoes for fairies. But maybe fairies make some shoes of their own too. (Mom tries to change the subject to avoid fight and subsequent meltdown) Did you guys know that Grampa Paul's birthday is on St. Patrick's Day?

Spencer: Does that mean that Grampa Paul is a leprechaun?

Evan: No. But I bet he has a costume.
