I was phoning my younger brother today, and his little girl was the first to pick up the phone. I chatted with her for a while before she handed the phone to her dad.
When I asked her what was up with her, she told me that she was doing a school assignment on finding out the most favorite color (for females and males) among a sample of actual people she knows herself, or she knows about -- as big a sample as she could find. Obviously, she asked for my favorite color, I told her I really don't have one favorite color per se, because it really depends on how and where the color is used.
She didn't seem to like my complicated answer (she's only in elementary school), and she just wanted me to specify my “bestest” color. I told her I tend to like "beige" the most. She said no, it has to be one of the seven colors of the rainbow. I didn't know all of the 7 rainbow colors, and I was too embarrassed to ask her, but at least I knew green was one of them, so I said green, which is actually my second favorite color.
Then she asked me to ask my friends too and let her know. I told her no sweetie, that would be cheating, and we wouldn't want to do that. She said no, her teacher told them they could get answers from friends of the family too, whether actual friends or internet friends
Anyway, to make the story short, will you please help her by telling me your favorite color and your gender (for new members). If you don't wish to reveal your gender, you may please not participate. I will then pass on your answers to her. If possible, please do it within 3 days from today (before her Christmas break!)
As a reminder, the 7 rainbow colors are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. I just looked them up!!
Many thanks to all.
