Attending a wedding

Attending a wedding c for the first time,
a little girl whispered to her mother,

“Why is the bride dressed in white?”

“Because white is the color of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life,”

her mother tried to explain, keeping it simple.

The child thought about this
for a moment, then said,

“So, why’s the groom wearing black?”
