Favorites

My favorite color:  robin's egg blue

My kids and I like to play a game we made up called "the favorite game".  We simply go around and ask each other, "What is your favorite (fill in the blank)?" Or sometimes we switch it up and ask for a person's "least favorite (fill in the blank)."  It's a go to game for waiting in restaurants, long rides in the car, etc.  That along with other classics like "I Spy" and "20 Questions."  It is interesting how my answers to most of the favorite questions rarely ever change.  I guess I've come to an age where I know what I like. Favorite color: Robin's egg blue.  Favorite movie: The Shawshank Redemption.  Favorite fruit: pineapple. Favorite sound: the wind blowing through trees. Favorite dessert: blueberry walnut cake. Favorite book: To Kill a Mockingbird. Favorite smell: freshly baked bread. Favorite season: summer. Least favorite vegetable: asparagus. These are just the facts, people!

My kids' answers, however, vary from day to day.  Leah went on a long stretch where yellow was her favorite color.  Now, she has switched to purple and she's sticking to it (for now).  Hannah's favorite book was Little Bear but then she discovered books by Robert Munsch and now she's totally into Moira's Birthday and The Paperbag Princess.  Their favorite things are still in the development phase.  They are learning and exploring and changing, so their answers will change too.  They are slowly defining what they like and don't like, and I find it so very fascinating to watch them in this process.

So, let's play the favorite game!  In the comments, tell me some of your favorites.  Here's the list I used above:
