St. Catrick’s Day and the Licking of the Icing

For St. Catrick’s Day, we always participate in the traditional licking of the icing.

What, you don’t have this tradition at your house? We’ll be happy to tell you about it. First, you get a cupcake.

Newton: It’s really St. Catrick’s Day again?

Ashton: Do you MIND, Newton? It’s traditional to lick the icing without having a cat staring at you.

As you can see, the key to licking the icing is not to eat it all, but to just have a taste.

Newton: I want more!

Pierre: No, the rest is for the head peep. Let her have her licks, too.

Ashton: If the head peep wanted some icing, I’m pretty sure she would have gone first.

Are you going to lick the traditional icing at your house for St. Catrick’s Day, too?
