Poor Little Leprechaun

St. Patrick's Day! The day that consists of getting pinched, and those wacky little men we call Leprechauns. Have you ever seen let alone caught a leprechaun? This year at school these pesky little men have been making a bit of a mess in the classrooms, even Peeing green pee and NOT flushing the toilet..
I always thought that if you could find the end of the rainbow there would surely be a leprechaun with his pot of gold.. Apparently they would much rather hang out at Sycamore Academy.
Today I learned something new, I had no idea that leprechauns laid eggs, seriously who would have thought..?? Logan came home today carefully holding, yep you guest it, his very own Leprechaun egg. He was SO excited, he placed it gently in a bowl, even gave it a bath. Not long after, the egg cracked, or shall I say "was cracked" What child is not going to try to crack a leprechaun egg to see if there is a leprechaun in it? Not long after Logan was very quiet, I asked him " Logan why are you so sad?" with that, he started crying such a sad cry, saying he Killed the leprechaun.. HOW SAD IS THAT? I decided I should tell him the truth, "Logan buddy there was no leprechaun in there, it was just pretend, he's still crying pretty loud, and say's now I'm sad that it was pretend." So what's worse, thinking you Killed your leprechaun, or that the leprechaun you thought you killed is fake.
