listen to the rhythm 2

A few days before the youth concert, one of the five 13-year-old boys called me to ask what he was supposed to wear for the drum performance. They had all agreed to wear all black.

S: Ms D, I don't have black pants.

Me: Hmm...What's your darkest coloured pants?

S: Peach.

Me (trying to control my laughter): PEACH? [trying to prevent myself from asking who in the world wears peach pants] *cough* eh...what do you mean by peach ah?

S (pausing for some time to think): You know, like milk chocolate?

Me (suppressing my laughter even more): Milk chocolate is dark brown right?

S (very serious): Nono, it's lighter than dark brown!

Me: Ermm... you don't have other colours???

S: Got. I got one blue one. But Ms D, it's shiny.

Me: !!!!!! Eh.. how come your pants all so special one???

S: Aiya, it's like sky blue lah. Can or not???

Me: I think you wear your milk chocolate pants better lah...

Thank goodness he found some decent grey cargoes the next day! :)
