The Leprechaun

Normally, around this house, we barely acknowledge St. Patrick's Day. We always make sure we wear green so no one gets pinched, but that is about it. This year, The Dancer started talking to me on Monday about how at her friend's house the leprechaun comes and hides jelly beans. I nodded and listened, but didn't really think anything of it. When she got home from school yesterday she asked me if I had been able to reach him. Last night, she asked me to wake her up at 6:00 am so she would have time to find her jelly beans. Yikes! She obviously wasn't going to let this drop. I had to do some fast work. So, I called the leprechaun at the last minute. He threw pieces of The Gals clothing over their ceiling fans, and sure enough - jelly beans were hidden and subsequently found. Good thing I had his number in my special book where I also keep the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny phone numbers.
