My favorite color is red. Not sure why.
I was so self-conscious as a kid, I remember in 2nd grade when the class was asked what our favorite color was, I chickened out and said 'blue' just like all the other boys because I thought red was so close to pink that it would give me away.
Now, my son says his favorite color is pink! I'm proud of him because he is not afraid to say it. But pink?! I know this will sound biased, but it makes me wonder. . . .
What was really cool was that he told his sister his color preference the other day, and after a rather dramatic 5 second pause she said 'that's cool, only the really cool guys at my school admit that'.
