Leprechaun trap

Last night my daughter Kaila worked diligently on her “special” project for St. Patty’s day.

While I dipped mint Oreo truffles for Danny’s work she would periodically interrupt me asking for scraps of string, permission to have some toilet paper and if she could use an old pizza box she found in the garbage. I absentmindedly agreed to all her requests glad that she was distracted.

This morning after shooing all my green clad offspring off to their designated schools I returned home and came across this beauty on the kitchen counter.

It was a Leprechaun trap. Complete with a handmade bed, a nightstand, money and welcome sign.

Kaila had left it in hopes that sometime today an unsuspecting little green man would stumble upon, smell the scent of recently eaten pizza and feel the need to take a nap. It was so clever and cute I decided that I had to take a picture of it for her scrapbook.

As I took a few shots I started to notice parts of this leprechaun trap that concerned me….concerned me GREATLY…..let me explain

This was the first picture I took- notice that she wrote something on the lid next to the large grease stain? On closer investigation this is what she had written-

LUCKY LEPRECHAUNS DREAM HOUSE

Nothing to be concerned about right?

On my next angled shot I paused reading the words “HOT-N-READY” printed along the side of the box.

Wait a second….what kind of Leprechauns are we trying to attract here? Lucky Leprechaun....Hot N Ready.....Has my daughter in her Innocence accidently created a Frat House? A bachelor pad for little hairy men with who crave stale pizza and have commitment issues? This would take further investigation!

I then looked that the furnishings of this so called “dream house”.

This included a broken down single bed (notice no accent pillows and I bet it is only single ply!)

And what is this?!(gasp!)

 Money left on the nightstand!!! And LOOK there are strings attached to this relationship (I bet it would include clipping his troll like toenails and waxing his hairy back!)  

So let's review-

Living out of a pizza box….grease stains on the walls….calls his home “lucky dream house”….single bed….money on the nightstand with strings attached….

Oh yes I have seen his kind before in bowling alleys and gun shows!

The only kind of leprechaun that would make his home in this trap would be the one doing the TRAPPING and my daughter would have NOTHING to do with that kind of degenerate!

He is the A typical “love em” and “leave em” type of Mythical Creature!

The only pot at the end of his rainbow would be the kind you grow illegally!

Don’t believe me? Just look at the picture kaila drew of him and his last girlfriend

Yes that's him all dressed up in his pimp attire doing NOTHING while SHE is left doing all the heavy work. And just look at his pompous grin and fancy hat! Disgusting!

I decided to take immediate action! I needed to protect my naive delicate daughters!

So I grabbed a nearby pen and paper and added my own note to her trap this one says-

Sorry Danny…it is for the greater good.
