You may think you know all of the traditions of St. Patrick’s day – shamrock icons, parades, green beer. And you may have learned of Saint Patrick himself, the Welsh born second bishop of Ireland. But do you know of the legend of Saint Paddles?
Saint Paddles (short for Saint Paddlesomenaughtybottoms) is a mischievous little leprechaun who checks to make sure ladies are wearing green panties in honor of the holiday! You see, his short stature helps in this case for him to be able to take a peek undetected. And should he find anyone who isn’t wearing green panties, well, it’s her unlucky day because she’s going to be spanked. He’s not like Santa and doesn’t care about naughty or nice. Everyone is naughty in Saint Paddles’ book and so is he!
I’m all prepared. Are you?
Shake your shamrocks!
