Look how long this is! Rule number 1, must be wearing green in your clothes, not including green nail polish, green hair barrettes, and green stars are all examples of things that do not count; “do not” is in capital letters here. Thus, you will be pinched. Generally wear green or get pinched, these are your two options. |
