My daughter was quickly summoned. “Dad thinks this is pink,” the wife said, and more hilarity ensued. The consensus of the women was that the shirt was “coral,” although some sentiment was expressed for “persimmon.” But there was agreement on the utter incorrectness of “pink.” It was as though I had pronounced a watermelon to be a kangaroo.
