St. Patrick's Day pressure

I don't remember all the pressure around wearing green on St. Patrick's Day as a child. Sure, I usually wore green, and I've got auburn hair and am short, so I'm practically a Leprechaun, anyway...

But around this time of year my son usually comes home and says someone will get pinched if they don't wear green. I heard a kid in the hall at school say that someone would get punched if they don't wear green.

But what a classmate told my son this year really takes the prize. He said "*friend* says that anyone who doesn't wear green will be given a wedgie." I asked if he knew what a wedgie was, and he did. So, which is more surprising? That someone would say that, or that my 6 year old is familiar with wedgies?

Do you know of any other things that might go wrong if you don't wear green?
