"Mom, have you seen my blue shirt?"

"Which one, honey?"

"Italian silk, cerulean. The one I bought last month."

Inez looked through a pile of clothes to be ironed. "Is this it?"

"No, that's Japanese silk and azure."

"How about this one?"

Will shook his head. "That's Chinese and cornflower."

"You're making that up," Inez said, scowling.

"I'm not," Will laughed. "It's okay. I'll wear something else."

"Why don't you wear that green shirt?" Inez offered.

"Which one? The moss, sage, hunter or celadon?"

A long look, then Inez sighed. "Baby, I love you, but you are on your own."
