The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

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.
