St. Patrick’s Day is in a few days, and Anya is in full-on
Leprechaun obsession mode. It all started a few days ago when she began asking
very pointed questions about the exact size of a Leprechaun, trying to work out
the best way to entrap them as it turns out.
Many Wikipedia articles were read and “Leprechaun Trap” searches
were executed to help her on her way.
At this point the house is lousy with traps made from coffee
cans and laundry baskets and jump ropes.
Coins are strewn about as bait, and I was woken up this morning with Anya
yell/informing me that she needed “duct tape!”
When asked, we never weigh in on the existence of
Leprechauns, we just say the WE have never seen them. That being said, mom has been fueling the kelly
green fire. Whenever we leave the house,
she trips the traps and steals the coins.
Today while Anya and dad were at the dog park mom dyed all the water in
the house green. We first noticed this
in the down stairs toilet. “Leprechaun
pee!” it was concluded. Then, an alarmed
shout from upstairs “They did it in mom’s water glass too! Leprechauns are mean little guys!”
It is awfully cute watching her run around and investigate
things, and draw the most illogical Leprechaun based conclusions about anything
that seems out of place. “Dad! A
leprechaun wrote ‘China A9043C’ on the back of my dry erase board!” was
probably my favorite thus far.
That being said, it is consuming 100% of her attention, and
the house is trashed, so I’m looking forward to the little buggers going back to
Ireland.
