“You are not wearing that skirt!"
“Mum!“
“It’s too short.”
“Everyone wears skirts this length; I don’t want to look like an old granny, do I?”
“Well, it’s the wrong colour.”
“But all my other skirts are in the wash.”
“Anyway, you shouldn’t be wearing a skirt at all.”
"Why not?"
"Because you're a boy."
“It’s a fine time to worry about that now. If I don’t hurry, I’ll miss my bus; I don’t want to be late for my English exam.”

Short sighted?
Given "All my other skirts are in the wash", it's certainly taken Mum a long time to realise what her son's wearing to school... :)
The exchange reminds me a little of the old joke where the son's explaining to his mother that he doesn't want to go to school - amongst other reasons both the pupils and staff hate him. The punchline: "But you have to go...you're 43 years old and you're the head!"
