Lately around the Kuhn house, there has been some "monkey business" going on. Lots of things are missing, lots of tricks have been played and just plain shenanigans. It all started when we made the rainbow cake. You see Leprechauns are attracted to rainbows and that is the exact day all these "mishaps" begin. After doing some research on Leprechauns, Addison and I had no choice but to build a Leprechaun trap. So Addi and I thought we could used something around the house to make our trap. We decided a laundry basket placed upside down would do the trick. The only problem was how could we lour him inside if the basket was flat on the floor. We went outside in search of a huge stick we could use to prop up our basket. Next we needed some good bait to entice the Leprechaun inside the trap and if he made any moves KABOOM the trap would close and we had him trapped! Well of course, we used GREEN BEANS, everyone knows that is how they get their green coloring, duh. So we got a pot and put the can of green beans inside the pot inside the trap and one can to the side of the pot to really draw him in.
Apparently, Addison and I got a little distracted with watching Max and Ruby because after the show we checked the trap and the green beans were gone and so was the pot and the trap was still up and NO Leprechaun was inside.We were absolutely shocked! I don't know where we went wrong. The only trace Leland (the Leprechaun) left was his Green hat and his shamrock sunglasses. Asddison and I were pretty disappointed at this point. Well, this isn't the end of the story....
Addison noticed there were green foot prints coming out of the trap and they lead all the way into her room. There was still hope! We both QUIETLY followed the foot prints, if he was near by we didn't want him to hear us and miss probably our last chance at catching him. We followed each green foot print until we got to dead end we looked up and on Addison's pink chair was.......... A POT OF GOLD (candy)! Addison was so happy to find the pot of gold but, we never did catch Leland. I just know he will be back next year and trust me we will be ready for him!!! Watch out Leland. You may have tricked us this year but, next year we will be waiting for you with a bigger and better Leprechaun trap. I may have to talk to those people in Alabama (on youtube- look up Alabama Leprechaun-so funny you will not regret watching it) and ask them for some pointers.
