How To Console A Leprechaun
Leprechaun: Ye’ve sought the wrong pot o’ gold, human! Now if ye wish to escape me magic, ye must complete THREE impossible tasks o’ me choosin’!
Me: (Braces self) Okay, hit me with ‘em.
Leprechaun: FIRST… Ye must properly put a fitted sheet on this king-sized bed… ON THE FIRST TRY!
Me: (recoils in horror, pauses) Wait, why do you have a king-sized—
Leprechaun: SECOND… ye must match the pairs to TWO HUNDRED SOCKS in yon laundry pile!
Me: ……
Leprechaun: AND THIRD… ye must wash this MOUNTAIN O’ DISHES wit’out breakin’ a single—
Me: (raises hand) Um, question – do you just need help with your chores or something?
Leprechaun: ……………….. (tears up suddenly) Look, Ah just need a wee break, we ‘ave twenty-six kids and they’re all monsters, ye know, metaphorically and a few literally, and Ah’m just SO strung out right now—
Me: (pats small shoulder) Hey, hey, it’s okay. How about I do those dishes while you put your feet up, huh? You can tell me about it later over toast.
Leprechaun: (sniffling) Thank ye, that’s very kind, and perhaps a spot o’ tea if ye can find the pot in this mess.
