What's your favorite? This is one of the hardest questions a person can ask me. In fact, when the words 'what's your favorite blah blah blah' come out of someone's mouth, I cringe. Not because I don't like you, or your question, but because I'm afraid I just can't answer you. Is it wrong that I cannot give you an answer?
Some ever so popular questions that I can never, ever answer are:
- Where was your favorite place to live?
- What's your favorite food?
- What's your favorite movie?
- What's your favorite color? (Ok, I do have an answer for this one...)
- What's your favorite restaurant?
- What's your favorite show?
- Crunchy or puffy?
- What's your favorite drink?
- What's your favorite animal?
- What's your favorite book?
- And so on, and so on, and so on.
So back to my question, is it wrong that I can not give these people an answer? Here's how I look at it - I'm open minded. Why would I ever want to pick a favorite when there are so many options out there? What if they are all my favorites? What if I like two more than the other options, but I don't like one of those two more than the other. And, what if there is an option that you are about to introduce to me, but because I already have a favorite, you hold out on me?
Or, and more likely to be true, I may change my mood tomorrow (it may even be within the hour, realistically the minute) and I will have a new favorite. Then, I will have to run around to find you just to let you know that my favorite has changed.
