Wedding Clothes

Today, I went straight from teaching at school to a gig - playing for a wedding.  Accordingly, I was dressed in all black.  This 11-yr-old girl spotted me as school was starting.

Girl: We went with all black today, I see.
Me: Yes.  I have a gig later today, playing for a wedding, so... all black.
Girl [raised eyebrow]: You're wearing all black... to a wedding?
Me: Yeah, I know.  But the musicians always wear black, it's what we do.
Girl: You should wear... Cream.
Me: But we wouldn't want to upstage the bride!
Girl [like, duh]: You wouldn't.  She'd be in white.
Me: Well, okay, but sometimes blokes play for these too.  Can you imagine them wearing all cream?
Girl [pause]: Yep! [Smiles].
Me [smiling]: Yeah, but I don't think they'd really like it.

Girl walks off grinning.
