I accidentally wore green today. I love wearing green accidentally on St. Patrick’s Day. As a teatotalling, non-Irish Protestant, I celebrate St. Patrick’s Day as much as I celebrate Arbor Day, but no one wants to feel left out.
I didn’t even realize it was St. Patrick’s Day until I strolled down to the cafeteria to grab some food. The super cheerful male cashier was rocking some green beads and I looked down at my shirt and saw that it was a pattern with varying shades of green. “Yes!”
If you purposefully wear green, you are perceived (by me) as a dork. If you forget to wear green, you feel like a spaz and run the risk of getting pinched by the fat desk clerk wearing the non-compliant sparkly shamrock bobbling headband.
