8-year-old Teasing

I bought a green pair of pants about a year ago that I decided to wear to work. My wife saw them and started mocking me because they looked like green velvet. She told me only a gay man would wear green pants like that...a gay man, or an elf. She started saying in a mocking tone, "What are you? An elf?"

When I started to reply defensively, our 8-year-old daughter chimed in, "Yeah Dad, do you think you're a leprechaun?"
