Leprechauns

I know it is very close to St. Patty’s day but the last few weeks have been full of small people in my life…

Last week, while in Houston, TX, Adam calls to tell me he received a call from one of his customers inquiring if their leprechaun was in their yard when he was there. He said it was when he left but sometime in the 2 hours since he’d left someone had stolen her yard leprechaun!

This past Friday night Michael (my brother) met Adam and I at Sensations off Derby to see Sassie Cassie, a 2’9” stripper - very weird experience, don’t plan to ever experience it again- EVER!

Earlier this week one of Adam’s friends told him their mutual friend’s family had a run in with a “leprechaun”! The story goes… the friend was at work and his son, who has Down syndrome, that’s in his late teens-early 20s, called and said he’d “caught a leprechaun” and he’d locked it in the closet. So he calls his wife (who was out for a short period) to tell her and the two of them met at the house. Well, when they get home there had been a door-to-door Jehovah’s Witness who happens to be a little person in a suit that their son had mistaken as a leprechaun, locked him in a closet and pushed a desk in front of the door. Luckily the man was VERY understanding and didn’t press charges due to their son’s misunderstanding of what a “leprechaun” is or lack of understanding of small people. UPDATE: Adam's friend was messing with him and this isn't true! Why men like to trick each other...I will never understand.

Again I know St. Patty’s is next week but this is crazy! People all over are dressing up lawn creatures in green top hats and coats or bows. Adam says there’s a manatee mailbox in his route (yes we live in Birmingham not Mobile so I’m not sure how a manatee mailbox fits in the neighborhood) that’s dressed in green; there’s a concrete rabbit on my way home with a GIANT green bow around its neck and there’s multiple others!

When I was a child we decorated the yard for Halloween and Christmas…now people need a very small excuse to go decorating crazy in their yards! NUTS!
