On St. Patrick's Day we were out of town unexpectedly and I realized I hadn't brought anything green for me to wear. That morning I pointed out to my daughter that I wasn't wearing any green and told her she could pinch me. She gave me a soft little pinch that didn't hurt at all, and then went looking for other people not wearing green. It was funny and there were only nice pinches.
Later that morning her brother woke up from his nap and I pointed out that he wasn't wearing any green. My daughter's face lit up and she came over to give him a pinch. I was nursing him at the time so my hands were a little tied up and I couldn't stop the MEANEST PINCH EVER. My poor baby stopped nursing and cried, and I was in shock. After all her nice pinches she totally pinched the heck out of a baby's thigh. I guess maybe she's got some hidden aggression towards him. I couldn't even be mad at her since I basically invited her to do it.
Score another one for me and my fantastic parenting.

At least you remembered it was St. Patrick's Day.
Boy, was Drama Girl ticked at me for not reminding her, as I sent her off to school with NO VISIBLE GREEN....
I didn't hear the end of it for like two days.
Then she tried explaining the concept of St. Patrick's Day to the boys just so she could get away with pinching them...
...and then, I had to go ruin it by trying to explain that St. Patrick didn't really drive SNAKES out of Ireland, they believe he drove Druids and Paganism out.... how dull of me...
This year was the first year my kids didn't throw up green all over the house. Yep. It took me almost 10 years to realize they have food coloring sensitivities. Let's hear it for parenting lessons learned on St. Patrick's day.
