Who dresses a child in pink for a funeral??

The same kind of people who wear yellow, because "black is so depressing." Said by my sister-in-law, at my father-in-law's funeral, with agreement by her husband, my hubby's brother.

She's a baby girl. Of course she has to wear pink.

And she's a touching emblem of continuing life and love etc., so of course she has to be in a bright, cheerful color.

Yup, I could write the badfic whenever I like.

I'm just trying to picture her grappling with a squirming ball of sanity that's trying to slip through her fingers.

Like you lose your mind all at once, anyway... What?

Little Sarah wore a pink onecy outfit with bows and flowers, and a hooded coat and innocently gurgled at her desperate mom.

I assume she means Onesie, aka snapsuit. Now, I do have some Onesies with bows and flowers, and I have hooded coats, but if I were to combine a Onesie with a hooded coat, I think I'd also be putting some pants on the kid.

Otherwise, that'd just look pretty funky.

(So much to pick apart, and what gets me? The baby outfit.)

She may be losing her mind with aplomb, but she looks *fabulous*!

And, really, isn't that what it's all about?

And, really, isn't that what it's all about?

Yes, sweetie-darling.

I kept trying to parse it as 'flouncy', and failing.

Nikita was wearing a black cashmere sweater, black floppy hat, black skirt Dior length, flat boots and an equally black jacket and she kept her eyes lowered as she wallowed in her mourning.

So she's wearing black?

black skirt Dior length

Wait, wait, wait. Dior is a designer, not a specific skirt length.
