Pizza sounds good to me, though it is NOT very Irish for St. Patrick's Day, is it? Notice the shamrock shape of the topping. Not GREEN, but I wouldn't want GREEN pepperoni, if that's what that is. Or is it strawberries? Or tomatoes? Oh, well. Happy St. Patrick's Day, anyway! Today, I'll try to remember to wear GREEN, because my ancestry is part Irish.
Why do we wear GREEN on this day? Leprechauns are actually one reason we're supposed to wear GREEN on St. Patrick's Day — or risk getting pinched.
The tradition is tied to folklore that says wearing GREEN will make you invisible to leprechauns, who like to pinch anyone they can see.

I, too, have a bunch of Irish in me, but today I forgot to wear green (that's the trouble with working at home, no one will pinch me).
Okay, Helen, pinch, pinch, pinch. I'll bet you can't even feel that, right?
