Late this morning, my Mom was washing dishes as I ate breakfast because she eats breakfast a lot earlier than I do while I am still trying to wake my body up. I ordered her a couple things to be delivered to my house for Mother’s Day. As she was washing one of the presents I got her, she said, “Blue IS my favorite color!“ I told her that I know that because I do. Blue actually used to be my favorite color when I was in high school!
My favorite color choice had to change when I had Sean. It has pretty much been me and Sean for his whole life! When given the choice between colors, I always have allowed Sean to choose the blue one. The options for the choice was most obvious when Sean started getting his teeth cleaned. I always made appointments for us to get our teeth cleaned simultaneously. Sean’s hygienist knew to give Sean the choice between a blue or green toothbrush. My hygienist knew to give me a purple toothbrush because our toothbrushes are in the same bathroom.
So, purple became my favorite color by default. Actually, aubergine is my favorite color:
This color is the color of my comforter. My really heavy comforter that I absolutely love! I didn’t learn this word until about five years ago from my former colleague, Mrs. Cochran. We worked together for my entire 12 years working there and it was in passing in the teacher lounge that she made reference to that color. I didn’t know what she was talking about so I asked her and she told me. When she showed me the color, I told her that that’s my favorite color! That and that word sounds really cool!
