Every year on Saint Patrick's Day, we wake up in the morning to
find that our milk in the fridge has been turned green by the
Leprechauns.
Submitter comment:
This happens every year, but of course there comes a time when
kids find out the "truth" about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny,
and so we learned the truth about the green milk as we got older--
it was only mom or dad who put green food coloring in the milk;
another disappointment.
