Catching a Lepre-Carolyn

This morning Carolyn was all dressed in green and ready to go to school when she decided to go scrounging for lost cheerios from breakfast. I wasn't really paying attention until I saw her actually put something in her mouth. She flapped her arms and squealed her delight until her face made a terrible scowl and she started trying to spit whatever it was out. Her mouth turned black and mud started drooling out. She had eaten a dirt clod off of her father's shoe. Her cute green outfit had black drool everywhere and her mean mother couldn't get all of the sand out of her mouth and made her swallow it with some juice out of her sippy cup. And I had thought that St. Patrick's Day wasn't going to be any different than any other day!
