if you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day? Do people in other countries do this as well or is it just an American thing?

I have nothing to add other than I HATE being pinched. It ticks me off more than anything!

I don't think it is nearly as big of a thing at schools anymore as it was when I was growing up. 2 of my boys went to school with NO GREEN and were not worried at all.

This morning the 1st and 2nd graders were on each other in the hall seeing who didn't have green on. DD wore a dress with green in it.
Last year I had some stranger pinch me at the grocery store. I wasn't pleased. So today I'm wearing dh's Minnesota Wild shirt.

I possibly would have smacked them myself! That is awful! Did I mention that I hate pinching?!

I told her "Not happy, and don't do that again". She told me I wasn't in the St. Patrick's Day spirit. I think she might have been alittle off her rocker if you kwim.
