A pleasant woman stopped by my home the other day to ask some US Census questions. (The Census people seem to enjoy interviewing me; I don't know why, as I doubt I am representative of an "average" American.) We settled in on the sofa, she opened up her laptop, and then she spotted the yellow-and-blue blanket that the cat was curled up on.
Her eyes narrowed.
"Those look like school colors," she said suspiciously.
Yes, indeed they are, I said. I explained that I knitted the blanket in Unionville's colors.
"Oh. Good," she said, relieved. Apparently they are the exact colors of her despised high-school rival, Cheltenham.
