Leprechaun

So I'm tucking Emmy in tonight and she tells me that her teacher, Ms. Conti, has Leprechauns that have visited the class.  They've even left behind treasures.  Furthermore, Ms. Conti has told the kids that if they leave a coin by their bedside, a Leprechaun might might come visit their room, take the coin and maybe leave them a treat.  (Thanks, Ms. Conti!)

So Emmy puts a nickel on the dresser next to her bed.

A few minutes later, she looks at me and says, "Mom, that's kind of weird, isn't it?  A little man coming into my room in the night and taking my coin and then staring at me while I'm sleeping?  I think I'll put it on the floor so he can't see me."

At which point she sat up, threw the coin on the floor and laid down for bed.
