In the Red

You probably should read "In the Pink" first (click on the name).

In the Powell family kitchen.

Mrs J: I really like Paul’s outfit for his prom. Simple yet very, very elegant.

Mrs P (mother of the twins): Well, I decided to modify my “twins dress alike” rule just for today. It would have been cruel to have Paul wear that awful frilly pink dress that Pauline decided to wear, especially since Paul just hates pink. Besides, what girl would want to see someone else in the same dress at her prom?

Doorbell rings.

Mrs P (shouts upstairs): Paul, Pauline! Tom and Harry are here to pick you up!

Mrs J: Tom and Harry? Not Tom and Mary?

Mrs P: Paul’s girlfriend talked her brother at Princeton into escorting Paul to the prom. She just couldn’t stand being outshone. Paul is absolutely gorgeous in that red dress!
