The Great Suit Misunderstanding

curiouswombatMy husband, speakr2customrs, bought an extremely smart, navy blue, suit for our daughter's wedding;
As he has had nothing to wear it for since, he decided to wear it for the christening on Sunday.
When he got up he pottered around and then went up to put his suit on just as we were about to leave. As he came down I remember thinking that his suit looked a bit crumpled, I thought he would have had it hung up better. As I thought this he said he was a surprised to find it was a touch tighter than he remembered, whereas if anything he had lost a kilo or two in weight, he thought.
Neither of us really thought about the suit again, went to church, had lunch... and when we came home he went upstairs to take his suit off.
At this point I hear a loud expletive from upstairs, and wonder what has happened.
He had just realised, as he took the suit off, that it was not the new one, but the older one that the 'wedding suit' had been bought to replace! No wonder it didn't look as smart as I had expected. No wonder, either, that it had felt a bit tight; he bought the new one in part because is old one was so tight it would no longer fasten!
So the good news is that he has most certainly lost weight since the new one was bought in January 2020!
But the funniest part of all this? For some reason it had not occurred to either of us that the suit he was wearing on Sunday was the wrong colour - it was mid-grey! 😄😄😄
