They Are After Me!!!!

Wednesday as you all know was St. Patrick's Day. We have been studying the origin of holidays in school but somehow this one got lost in translation. I was meeting my wonderful husband of 9 years (yes we got married on St. Patty's day, no we aren't Irish) for lunch so I had dropped Brittany and Justin off at Grandmas and was heading to drop the youngest two chickens off at their posts. While in the car driving to drop off Michael he randomly says to me...
"Mommy, I am not wearing green."
"That's OK Michael, you don't have to wear green its just something some people like to do."
"But Brittany and Justin are."
"Yup, they wanted to wear green today."
"So, they wont get me?"
"Who?"
"The tiny little people."
"Do you mean leprechauns?"
"Yes, Brittany told me if I wasn't wearing green they would come get me."
Oh my. We need to have a little talk with the eldest chicken.
"No Michael, the leprechauns will not get you, they are not real."
"Oh, good, I was gonna hide in my closet if they were."
