I had my eyes on a set of 5.99 curtains and asked the small male his opinion on the colour.  He took a very dim view on them, the dimmer his view, the more my attachment to the potential of these curtains increased. I couldn’t understand his strong resistance to a very average yellow / orange shimmery curtain.

His final words on the matter gave something toward an explanation …

“They’ll make us look religious,” he said.
