Save the Leprechauns!

16 06 2010

I love rainbows.  It’s like a higher power (or God if you prefer) sending the entire world a huge “just thinking about you” greeting card. Kind of like a someone saying, yes, your day was shitty, but here’s a little something to remind you what a magical and beautiful place the earth is.

L saw her first LIVE rainbow today. It was quite an event for both of us.

It was amazing the way it seemed to follow our car down the road, then plant itself right in front of house as we pulled into the driveway.

L yelled out bouncing in her booster car seat, “Look! Mommy, it’s following us. Oh my gosh!”

“Do you want to go get the pot of gold at the end of it?” I asked her excitedly.

“Can we drive to it, please Mommy, PLEASE?” she pleaded.

“But what about the Leprechauns protecting the pot of gold?”  I shut off the car and turned in the seat to look at her.

“Can’t we just  kill the Leprechauns, Mommy?”
