Rubbish Bag Skirt

Another from the continuing quartet this week.  Another random, no warning, right in the middle of rehearsal, comment.

Viola: Ooh, I want to wear something for you.
Me: Ah.. What?
Viola [a bit louder and slower]: I want to wear something for you.
Me: You mean, other than your school uniform...?
Viola [nodding and smiling]: Yep.  It's a rubbish bag skirt.
Me [eyebrow raised]: Okay...

At the end of rehearsal, she pulled out a plastic bag, which was filled with a whole lot of plastic bags.  Not just any, though - white, pink, yellow - all pastel colours, and they've been attached to a band of elastic to form a skirt.  Viola starts pulling the skirt up over her school uniform.

Me: Wow! You weren't kidding.
Viola: Nope.  It's for cultural capers. [Which is, as far as I can gather, a lip-sync competition].

Cello starts singing - and then it got a little crazy with old songs and new songs and singing and dance moves.  Yes, Gangnam style, from the most straitlaced girl in the quartet.
