So while you are all decked out in your green clothes, St. Patties day socks, and Clover head bobbles, I am hiding in my office and trying to avoid that annoying little thing known as pinching. I forgot it was St. Patrick's day. I usually don't dress up for holidays because I am a fun sucker. A sucker of fun ideas and fun celebrations that have to do with me walking around in a shirt that has some cheesy holiday saying on it. Unless it has "If you pinch me, I punch you" written in green sequins on the front, then I am totally not interested. Who even thought of the idea that it is ok to pinch someone for not wearing green? Do I punch people for not wearing pink? I mean, I totally give them props for thinking of something so stupid that is now a huge phenomenon but I blame them for all those days that I was tortured because my mom "forgot" to send me to school wearing green, and when I was caught I tried to use the excuse that I had green on my underwear, and then when I was pantsed (spelling?) to prove it, my secret was exposed that I wasn't a total tomboy because my panties had hearts! HEARTS! I know there are a few of you out there that are saying, "well yeah, if you did all those things to me like you did to your parents, I would send you in a shirt that said, 'give me a noogie because I am not wearing green' in ugly brown sequins" But its ok, so far today my avoidance of being pinched is simple, every time I pass someone, before they say anything I say "Green underwear." and it follows with a grown person kicking the wall because it was one less person they could pinch.

It only gets worse when you have kids, because they just HAVE to celebrate every holiday! I'm not a decorator (like Steph) and just don't find the patience to get into these little holidays (except for Valentines Day). So yeah, my toezies are green today to apease the kiddo's, that's the extent of my St. Patties Day celebrating.
I LOVE pattys day! the darn creatures ALWAYS dye my milk and pancakes green and make a mess! so of course we need to pinch people because we are angry! ( i never thought about sending my kids to school with no green TEEHEE!)
