St. Patrick's Day

When I was in first grade, my teachers decided to celebrate St. Patrick's Day by telling us that leprechauns had surprised us with treats on our desks that morning, and they told us to keep an eye out for them throughout the day because we might catch one. Later that day when I took a trip to the girl's bathroom with two of my friends, I found myself standing by the sink by myself while my two friends were in the stalls. I, being the oh-so-honest 6-year-old that I was, took the opportunity to yell out that I found a leprechaun! I squealed and ran out of the bathroom. I'm sure my friends didn't even think to wipe, let alone wash their hands, to join me in my pursuit of said tiny creature. We were sadly unable to catch it.

The best part, though, was that my dear teachers couldn't catch me in the lie since they themselves had given me the idea.

Also, I thought that today, March 15th, was St. Patrick's Day. I thought it was weird that it wasn't on the 17th this year, but I did wear a green shirt today. I didn't want to get pinched.
