Today I woke up and was reminded that today is St. Patrick's Day.  Being someone who doesn't look good wearing green I got dressed and put on a green necklace given to me by my roommate.  I woke up Nicholas and thought I might try and explain today what today was. 

I woke him up and said, "hey buddy, guess what, today we get to wear your favorite color."

"Green?" he asked. "Wahoo"

Then I asked him if he knew why we wore green today and he said no so I went on to explain to him that today we honored St. Patrick by wearing green.

He looked at me rather confused and said, "Mom, Patrick is on Sponge Bob and he IS NOT green he is red!"

I chuckled and said yes that I realized that there was a Patrick on Sponge Bob but that this was a different Patrick.

He sat for a minute like he was trying to think of all the Patricks we knew and then looked at me and said,

"Whatever" and walked away.

Perhaps Sponge Bob could come out with an epsiode explaining St. Patrick's Day where they think that it celebrates Patrick perhaps that might make more sense.
