Leprechauns, fairies, and the like.

How many out there ever believed in leprechauns? I remember believing in the tooth fairy, Santa Clause, and the Easter bunny... but never leprechauns on St. Patrick's Day. My son just mentioned that his teacher in kindergarten tried to set a trap for the leprechaun and while they were out of the class he left a note saying that the trap didn't work, but he left each one of them a chocolate gold coin. A little too much don't you think?

  • Yes, I would agree. I would not get a child started believing in leprechauns. We were raised, and I raised our children believing in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, and the tooth fairy. Eventually, as they grew older, they were told the truth and also taught the true meaning of Christmas and Easter even while celebrating Santa and the bunny.

  • When your son is a grown man maybe he will think back and fondly remember that a kindergarten teacher would go to such trouble to make a boring holiday into such an adventure. I say "way to go" to a teacher who loves teaching so much that she puts such effort into everything she does to make things more creative, interesting and FUN!
