Well, That’s A Kid Of A Different Color

I was a children’s ski coach. For the group lessons, each child would be assigned a team, indicated by a colored vest, for their age and ability.
While I was teaching a group of reds (three- and four-year-old beginners), a woman approached me.
Woman: “My kids are in a lesson. Where are they so I can watch them?”
Me: “What color are they?”
Woman: “Excuse me?!”
It turned out that her kids were in a private lesson and were not part of our colorful classification. (This also meant that it was hard to guess where they would be!) I tried to be more careful about using coach shorthand with the public after that.
