Poor choices and leprechauns

Let me tell you a little story.
A story of a teacher of 3 year olds who made a poor choice.
She had the best intentions, she was going to make the week of St.Patty's day a magical week in her classroom.
She hatched a plan. She would pretend leprechauns were visiting the classroom.
They would be notes from them, they would leave little treats, little clues they were there..
It would be such a fun make believe game..
It started out wonderfully, the kids laughed and had a blast searching the room for the little leprechauns.
And then nap time came.
"Um, Miss Kara Miss Teacher who shall remain unnamed" one little girl tugged at the teachers shirt.
"Yes, dear." said the teacher
"Can you sit by the door to make sure the leprechauns don't come in and get us?"
Oh, boy
Never fear, Teacher was quick thinking and replied...
"Oh no honey, we were just playing make believe. They are just pretend, you know like Santa.. I mean... OK, I will sit by the door."
True Story.
