When I was young on St. Patrick's day my siblings and I would make leprechaun traps. We would make them out of shoeboxes and tape and we would put food in there as bait. One year my parents used erasers and ink to stamp little footprints onto my box and put a little metal leprechaun inside my box. I thought I had actually caught a leprechaun and it turned to metal. It was really cool and looking back I appreciate that they did that for me.
Have your parents ever done something like that for you in your childhood?
Edit: This really was supposed to be a happy thread but I should've known it was going to turn out this way.

My mom once got busted at a meth lab when I was in middle school, it made the front page of the paper I think. She had this thing where she liked to go to jail every 2 years for awhile there.
