St. Patrick's Day has always held an important place in my heart. In gradeschool, we would sing Irish songs during the week. I have a beautiful voice, contrary to popular belief and could spread Irish cheer with a single high note from "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." Alright, maybe not, but I was always the go to girl when a song had a line containing Colleen in it. "Ah, Colleen, do you know what they mean by your name?" Why, yes, in fact, my name means girl. Then the boys would call me girl for the next three weeks. At least they didn't know that literally translated, Colleen Maguire means girl of pale color.
Throughout the day, I would get excited seeing someone in green, but then realized they were probably just wearing green. During a 2 hour long coloring session, I tried to explain to my kids that in America, you're supposed to wear green on St.Patrick's Day, and if you don't, people are allowed to pinch you. "Queeeeee? Los Americanos son ridiculosos!" :)
Happy Irish Day!!!
Besos y Abrazos
