Good luck With That

Nathan "Mom, today I learned at school that leprechauns are real. My teacher's brother had them in his house and so he set a bunch of leprechaun traps and he trapped one and it got away and all that was left was his boot. I think I believe that."

A leprechaun from Hudson Town,
tried to steal when no one was around.
His foot hit a trap,
the trap it went SNAP!
And his boot, 'twas left on the ground.

Would that be a limerick, my sweet?

LOVE IT!

Isn't it just plain annoying the things with which they try and indoctrinate our children? Leprechauns, pots of gold, sheesh!

Carla said...

Maybe the scenario could be made into a math problem, MaryLu? :)

You have 3 leprechauns with boots and as they run away one boot is left. How many leprechaun boots do you have now?

*Isn't it a bit early for leprechaun stories?


*"I think I believe that." So cute!!


*Carla, Is that a trick question?
I'll guess; one?

Hey Carla,
Looking for a random post, I clicked on "coffeetime" in your archives section on the right. I came up with:

kristi noser,

Who asked you? (Just kidding.) :)

Seriously, if the three leprechauns run away (with five boots on their feet), then YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LEFT. Correct?

Carla said...

Ok Janet. Bad math question. I have been out of the teaching loop for 9 years now.

How many boots are running away if one boot is left in the trap? :)

Janet said...

Silly Carla. Boots don't run. :)

Carla said...

Always after me Lucky Charms, Janet.

See, I was going to comment on that math problem from the start. I was expecting you to say -

You have 3 leprechauns with boots and as they run away one boot is left. What did the leprechauns have for breakfast?

oranges.
true.
6x9=54.
