Luck o' The Irish

Eli learned his lesson from last year and didn't talk about trapping a leprechaun this year. Unfortunately for Eli, leprechauns hold grudges.

Eli laid out his green clothes so that he could do a quick change without getting any pinches. I'm not sure why he didn't just think to wear jammies with green on them but I didn't suggest it so that I could get a few pinches in. As you can see the naughty little leprechaun switched Eli's clothes to blue pants and a blue shirt.

When I woke Eli up I noticed that he had a leprechaun face drawn on his hand. I said "did you draw on yourself!" Eli looked at his hand and said "oh that stinking little leprechaun!" He jumped out of bed and when he saw his clothes he said "HEY, I didn't put these clothes out. I wonder what other tricks he played."

He searched every room he passed but all the action was in the kitchen. The chairs were tipped, there were footprints on the counter, and a note from the leprechaun with some candy. He also dyed our milk green which resulted in Eli not eating his cereal. I (meaning leprechauns) need to learn to stop dying Eli's food. It grosses him out.


Eli was pretty happy with the mornings events. He did kinda wish that the leprechaun had drawn on his face again but the leprechaun couldn't find the washable markers.

Eli is so trusting and innocent. He believes in leprechauns 100 percent. I am waiting to see if he still does after school today.
