Some things that you learn in childhood stick with you for life.
When I was in grade school, if you didn't wear green on St. Patrick's Day then you got pinched. By everyone. It didn't take long to create the habit of wearing green. When we were in Jr. High we got cute and hid the green. Now people had to look at our socks before they pinched us - just to be sure. When we were in High School, we got cool. No silly green shirts for us - we would wear green earings or a green headband. Subtlety was key. Flashy was for uncool people.
Now that I'm an adult - way into adulthood - I still wear green on St. Patrick's Day. And I'm not worried about anyone pinching me. It's just some habits stick for life.
