Colors

I walked into the kitchen Saturday where my 10-year old daughter and her cousin were having a serious discussion on favorite colors. My niece asked me, “Uncle Dave, what is your eighth favorite color?”

Eighth? I’m not sure I even have one. She was serious; hers was crayola-anti-roll-crayons-2 pink. Eight? How do you have that many? How would you order them? What do you base it on?

“…and #21 is definitely taupe, I think, and then goldenrod is close behind. Then turquoise. Yeah. Wait. Aquamarine and Sienna are in there somewhere, I know they’re low 20s.”

I miss being 10.

I was just realizing that I do not have a favorite color, and I don't think I ever have. I always said "blue" because you were supposed to have an answer for the question, but it was a sham. I like all colors.
