Wearing Orange

While playing basketball today, I was asked why I wasn't wearing green, it being St. Patrick's Day.

"Because I'm not Catholic."

"…"

"Catholics wear green, Protestants wear orange."

"Oh…"

I'm not anti-Catholic, nor am I protesting anything about St. Patrick's Day (though as a Protestant non-drinker with German/English roots, I'm not enthusiastic for the holiday either). But I am a history buff, so I'm appropriately wearing an orange t-shirt.

I proudly wore my orange to the zoo today. I stood out in a sea of green.
