As the students shuffled in today, some wore green, but it was definitely not a sea of green. A few had green hair and green sparkles on their cheeks, and one student wore a glittery little green hat cocked jauntily to the side.
As two eighth graders passed by, I heard, “It’s Leprechaun Day, bro.”
“What’s Leprechaun Day?”
“Are you dumb? It’s why everyone’s wearing green.”
Hummm. Everyone? Leprechaun Day? I’ll bet a hundred dollars he didn’t know about St. Patrick and the snake legend. Somebody get this boy some Irish soda bread, stat!
