I read about a St. Patricks Day Parade earlier today. I wasn’t planning on going, but we passed by and my oldest daughter wanted to stop and check it out. My little Toyota barely fit down the street it was so packed! What fun this was! Tons of kids were assembled behind a fire truck. Some were walking, some riding, some in golf carts– you name it. We joined right in. Everyone had on their St. Patrick’s Day green! (Updated: Collin Smith’s blog also has coverage… and far better pictures!)

As I was leaving I passed two little old ladies. “What in the world is happening?” they asked. I could tell they were irate, so I politely replied that it was a St. Patricks Day Parade. They both “tsked, tsked”. “They ALLOW parades in residential areas now?” they asked (as if I am an expert). I politely responded, “Yes ma’am. Its for the children. They are all out walking and riding in the parade and enjoying the fresh air.”

“Oh. Well… in that case…”

Heh.

Remember to tell them you read about it on theflossip.com!! Thanks for reading!
