R. (in his best big brother voice) tells him, "Yeah, it's this new thing some kids in my class are doing. If you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day. . . they're going to PINCH you."
Yup, you may not have heard about it, but kids these days will pinch you if you don't wear green!
Growing up, I was taught strict observance of the St. Patrick's Day pinching principle. I remember wearing green pajamas to bed on March 16th in order to avoid being awakened with a pinch. No, I'm not the type to just pin a bit of green to my shirt. I'm the type to go shopping (yuck) for a green shirt the day before St. Patrick's Day when I can't find anything green to wear.
Did your parents, like mine, offer a generous helping of green food coloring at the breakfast table--green scrambled eggs and green pancakes? Or green milk in your cereal bowl? Join us and injest some green today for St. Patrick's Day!

I for one, am a fan of the green scrambled eggs, and kinda green orange juice. :)
I didn't have a lick of green on all day. Am I kicked out if the family?
Dave, I'm not surprised. You don't go bonkers for Halloween either. (A costume where the name tag on your shirt reads: "To: Women. From: God." is funny, but not bonkers.)
