We went to The Great Pumpkin workshop at the BCM today.

Just me, Ana, and Deniz.

At the museum, we met this woman with her kid, Max. Max was wearing a pink jacket, but had rather short hair, so eventually I asked The Big Silly Question - um, is that him? Or...?

Oh, no, his mother says. "He's a boy, pink is just his favorite color, and we don't really care, it's not that important."

Max's parents rock.

Can I say that a little louder here? Because that sentence cheered me up considerably.

In *other* news, Ana and Deniz pull the same trick. If you ask them their favorite color, they'll go "Well, my favorite color is yellow (blue for Deniz), but also pinkandpurple." I take this to mean "I like yellow (blue) the most, but I'll say pink and purple as well just because", and isn't that a sad state of affairs for a child?

Pink used to be Brad's favourite colour, too. :-)

I love purple but black, blue & red are close seconds. Perhaps this is what they mean.
