Re: Ok so who is in?
OMG, your post was at 4:42 am?  
I couldn't wait for everyone to go to bed last night. I don't know how I'll keep this up the later they stay up. Thank God St. Pat's was on Sunday this year
DS's teacher told him the leprechaun isn't real
  .
He told her he HAS TO BE real. No way would his mother ever, ever, ever make such a mess of the house because she's always complaining about having to clean the house the way it is He said he's writing all about it in his class journal
Now off to scrub the green footprints off my tile floor

Re: Ok so who is in?
I can't believe I'm saying this to a teacher but WTF was that teacher thinking? Do they volunteer that there is no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny at that school?
We've explained that not every house has a leprechaun. We're pretty sure it's Joe though because this stuff has been going on since he was about 4.

Honestly, I'm a teacher, and before reading this board, would never have known the leprechaun was something to be "protected" like Santa Claus. It was not something that was part of my childhood at all, and I really had no idea people made it out to be something real.
That said, my DD came home from school on Friday and was really very excited that the leprechaun came to her classroom and apparently dropped off cupcakes and pencils for them!

That's totally fair.. but even if a teacher doesn't recognize the tradition, it's not right to try to ruin it, KWIM? If you see a child all breathless with excitement and wonder over a visit from Santa, the Easter Bunny, Ishkabibble, The Green Lantern.. or whatever floats the parent's boat.. I don't think it's anyone's place to correct them and tell them it isn't 'real' or true.
Because of Barb we've done the leprechaun for several years now. They LOVE it. They have both kind of worked out that *I* am the leprechaun, but they still get a kick out of it!
