It Is Not St Paddys Day

It is not St. Paddy's day!” the eight-year-old informed me.
He was the sixth person to say that to me today.
“I never said it was,” I agreed.
I am wearing a favorite green shamrock pin.
It amazes me that children have limited their thinking.
Believing we can only wear shamrocks on St. Paddys day.
Sad really.

I was wearing my Christmas ugly sweater the other day because it was nicely thick and warmer for the weather, and very much prettier than ugly, lol. Someone, not a kid though, told me Christmas was gone nearly two months now. Lol.

people are so silly, limiting not only themselves but also trying to limit us. I wish them luck!
