Colorblind

Fun fact: I'm partly colorblind. Not just because I see all of God's children as equals regardless of race¹, but also because I can't see certain shades of green and/or red. Some shades of green look gray to me, some look white, some look yellow. I had dinner with my sister, and she and the people next to us had a fun time asking me whether or not I could tell that the lights were green.

I don't really think that I'm missing anything. Although, this could come to haunt me if Martians should ever invade the United States, and Martians looked like light-green squirrels. Everyone would panic and run for their lives as the Martians descend upon our land, except for me. Instead, I would be trying to feed them acorns, and they wouldn't hesitate to attack me. Luckily, in spite of the disadvantage I have in being unable to tell light-green from grey, I have the very distinct advantage of feeling absolutely no guilt whatsoever about kicking squirrels out of my way whenever the opportunity arises.

So if the Martians do turn out to, in fact, resemble squirrels with the only difference being that they are a shade of light-green, they better watch out. I will kick them all the way to Pluto.
