St. Patrick’s Day Pinch
Are you aware of the custom to pinch someone if they do not wear something green on St. Patrick’s Day? I recall this ‘game’ from grade school, but apparently it isn’t as well known I thought it was. Is this a regional thing? Is it age related (I feel like my mom knows the rules, so you should too)?

Christmas must be around the corner
Recently I’ve been seeing a lot more commercials for Playskool toys. I can only attribute this to the fact that this must be the time of year, 2 months before Christmas, that Playskool spends all of their TV media advertising budget. Get the kids riled up for a new toy now, and in a month you’ll be so tired of hearing them beg you for it, that you end up getting them the toy before Thanksgiving. Now, you end up buying more Playskool toys to put under the tree. I think it’s a great advertising scheme.
