Being St Patricks Day, is everyone wearing green. My boys had to make sure they had theirs on this morning, they did not want to get pinched at school. While my little one was getting dressed older brother was pinching him because he was not wearing green yet. I think they look forward to this all year, to pinch each other without getting fussed at.

Actually, I'm wearing red. I completely forgot today was St Patrick's day. Haha.

Good thing you are not in school or you would be getting pinched all day long.

so do teachers actually allow the children to do this to each other? that's shocking.

I am not wearing green. I will probably get pinched or teased a bit. I need to expand my wardrobe to include some green stuff. I looked all through my clothes and I don't have any thing green any more. I know I used to.

I really do not have anything green either. My shirt is a blue green, so I convinced my boys it was green enough, so they would not pinch me.

nope no green today. I'm not a Catholic, so find saints days pretty irrelevant. and as someone English, if I don't do something for St. Georges day, why would I do something for St Patricks day? I've not heard of pinching people for not wearing green, but quite frankly, I find the idea disgusting. it's personal choice, people shouldn't be hurting each other, however mildly, over whether or not they wear a colour to mark a saints day or not.

Hi, I've never heard about the pinch thing before for St Patricks day. I usually like to wear green on St Patricks day especially because I'm half Irish. I forgot what day it was this year with so much going on in my life but when I remembered I realised I was wearing green anyway:)
