Those Crazy Leprechauns

Aidan jumped off the bus from school today, ran to me and yelled, "You are NEVER going to believe what happened at school today Mom!"

"What happened?" I asked as I helped him take off his jacket and hat.

"The Leprechauns broke into our classroom, stole our supply buckets and even knocked over some chairs!" He said with so much excitement that his words almost tripped over themselves as he spoke.

"They did?"

"Yes! And they left green dust EVERYWHERE. And a mess!"

"Green dust?"

"Yes, and it SPARKLED! On the FLOOR! And you know what?"

"What?"

Aidan's eyes gleam with excitement as he leans over to me, opens his palm and reveals two gold chocolate coins, "They left us a pot of their gold too."

"Wow."

"They were crazy leprechauns!" He giggled as he ran into the kitchen.

Aidan is so entranced with the idea of leprechauns gone wild he is determined to stay awake tonight just in case a few green munchkins are planning on some mischief at our house. I am supposed to nudge him if I catch him dozing off when I check on him later. I just wish I had some green dust to decorate his room.
