Mom: These pants should fit. Try them on. Petey: They're too beige. Mom: You look good in beige! It makes your face more distinct. Alice? Where are you? Alice: Over here. Mom: Stay there. Petey's trying on some pants. Alice: Look at all the cute alices! Alice: Your hairs sticking up all over. Alice: your nose is weird. Alice: It's pinch looking. Alice: mommy! Alice: Are those pants even a color? Alice: They make your face stick out. Petey: Everybody hates the pants. Mom: Try these. They're ecru. Alice, what? Alice: Say my nose is cute.

Even I’m picky when it comes to blue jeans; I prefer light blue over dark blue.

And if he doesn’t like them in ecru they also have the same pants in other colors such as: slate, stone, light grey, pebble, mouse grey, taupe and khaki.

No, despite the fact that it’s my mother’s favorite, beige, nor any or the variations thereof, is not a color

All the Alices look the same, yet they’re still teasing her about her looks. Alice logic!

Even though someone has designated numbers to it, I agree with jacquelin.Beige is just white which someone has forgotten to dust or has left to yellow in the sun.It may be a color – just not an interesting one.Not a bit like comparing Alice to her reflection.

I feel for you Alice. Nobody likes three way mirrors. “Hey my butt isn’t that big.”

If anyone should wear the most blend in Jeans, it’s Petey.He is not a popular kid and needs to just blend in with the students as a whole

Although if he wears khakis, he’d run the risk of being mistaken as (a rather young) server in some restaurants.

I used to favor what I thought of as buff-colored jeans—maybe what Madeline chooses to call ecru. But they are no longer available, having gone out of style. So now I buy black. Beware, Petey! Black would make your face “pop” even more!

to paraphrase Ema Bombeck “He can’t wear beige because he IS beige.”
