Happy St. Patrick's Day! Could there be a better holiday? I mean, you get to pinch people. That's my kind of holiday.

My mom told me that when I was little, I would pinch babysitters and nursery workers while she wasn't looking. And not just pinch in a cute way, but in a "when I grow up, I want to be a crab" sort of way.

I was watching this info-mercial about losing weight, and the woman trying to sell her book said that sometimes you may think you're hungry, but you're actually thirsty. She said you can tell if you're hydrated if you pinch your elbow and the skin bounces back quickly. If it doesn't, you're probably dehydrated. So now I have an excuse for pinching Brandon's elbow. It's for his own good.
