Running O' the Green
Well, I survived St. Patty’s day.
At our house it’s an observed holiday of a sort, but not because of the Irish connection, even though my side of the family does bring the Irish.
Even though we’re Christian we’re not celebrating any religious aspect associated with any saint.
Even though we wear green, it’s not about the green.
At our house it’s pretty much entirely about… Pinch Avoidance.
The kids slink out of their bedrooms dressed in green, but not in a festive way. More out of the same spirit that a paintball warrior will wear body armor for protection.
Suddenly, as I’m brushing my teeth I feel a sharp little pain in my left buttock. I turn around to see a grinning little 8 year old face, filled with the glee that only comes from drawing first blood.
It’s on.
