When I was a child my brother use to tease me to death and I so hated it.

He was older than me and I always felt he seemed to be "one up" on me in the words department.

He started calling me a Leprechaun near my birthday (March 17th) and it got me mad. One day he looked dead serious and said to me, "I swear, last year when it turned midnight on St. Patrick's eve, I was just coming back from the bathroom and you were a small little lump in your bed....you turned into a little leprechaun, I swear it!"

I laugh at it now, and with a wink I tell my kids I turn into a Leprechaun at midnight :) ...
