Re: Pinching/St. Patrick's Day

["Mary L. Jarvis" <mjarvis@MAIL.ORION.ORG>]

I haven't read all the thread here, but I am 54 years old living in
Missouri.  I was raised in Southern California, have lived in Arizona and
Utah and have been in the public schools in each of those states.
EVERYWHERE I have lived, on St. Patrick's Day kids pinch anyone who
doesn't wear green.  I believed it was a universal practice and had been
there forever, considering my age.  I'm really surprised to read this
discussion that people in other parts of the nation don't know about this.
