Gold At The End of The Rainbow

I'm loving the time I get with Grace every morning for 10 minutes as I drive her to school. Yesterday was an insightful day. The conversation began like this: "Dad, I want to build a trap to catch a Leprechaun." "Really?," I ask inquisitively. "My kindergarten teacher last year told me she caught one." I was wondering what was coming next. Then she said "Do you think Leprechauns are real or not, kinda like Santa Claus?" I said, "What do you mean ?" "Well, you can believe in him or not believe in him. Some kids think Santa is just their parents." "Do you believe in Santa Clause?" I asked. "Oh yes! What made me believe in Santa for sure was the wii."
"How so?" I asked. "Well I knew it was from Santa because it costs like $1000 and I know you wouldn't spend that much on Christmas."
So she and I may go in search of the gold at the end of the rainbow.

Hey Don,
Nice to read something new from you!

Cute story! Keep that magic alive in Grace...it keeps her young. Alan just lost his second tooth a couple nights ago. He asked me if I was the Tooth Fairy, because he thought I had more money than she had. (He gets 4 quarters.) I said I wasn't her and I had never seen her before, but she came when I was a little girl. He believed me. He thinks she is yellow.

Do you realize your picture of the rainbow starts or ends at a port-a-potty? I hope you aren't digging for gold there! :)

I love that she can reason it out about Santa and come to the conclusion that she has to believe. Very cute.

We have Leprechauns that come and visit every St. Patrick's Day. You never know what they're going to do. Last year the milk turned green and all the dining room chair were upside down.

Cheryl's comment about the port-a-potty ... FUNNY!
