好きな色・My Favorite Color

子供の頃、姉や兄が「好きな数字は何だ？」と尋ねたとき、いつも自分の年齢と答えた。５歳の時には「５」と答えたが、６歳になって「６」と答えた。そして、７歳になって「７」と答えた。その年で、見破られた。「好きな数字はいつも年齢と一緒に変わる！！」と兄が叫んだ。「いや！これからずっと、死ぬまで７が一番好き！！」とわたしが言い返した。今でも、７が好きだ。post

何が一番好きと聞かれたとき、「今日、どう答えたらいいの」と自分に言い聞かせる。チョコもアイスクリームも大好きだが、どっちが本当に一番好きな食べ物？猫も狐もダンゴムシも大好きだが、どれが一番好きな動物？一番好きなものを選ぶのは本当に変わりやすくて難しい。

「緑が好き」とよく言う。確かに、緑が好きだが、普通でない色合いの緑が好き。銀色がかった緑もほとんど黒っぽい深緑もとても好きだ。しかし、一番好きな色が日や気分などによって異なる。例えば、雨の日には新緑の黄緑を好むが、ちょっと落ち込んでいる日には灰色っぽい紫を好む。毎日自分の好きな色を見つけるのはちょっと楽しいので、好きな色を１つだけ選ぶつもりはない。

When I was little, whenever my brother and sister asked me, “What number do you like?” I always answered with my age. When I was five, I’d answer, “I like 5.” When I was six, I answered, “I like 6.” Then, when I was seven and said I liked 7, my method was discovered. “Your favorite number is always your age!!” my brother yelled at me. “No way! 7 will be my favorite number forever!!!” I shouted back. Even now, I do like 7. 

When others ask me about my favorite things, I then ask myself, “How should I answer today?” I love chocolate and ice cream, but which is my favorite food? I love cats, foxes, and roly-polies,  but which is my favorite animal? My favorite things change, so it’s really difficult to choose just one. 

I often say, “I like green.” Sure, I do like green, but I like unusual hues of green. I like silvery green and green that’s so dark it’s nearly black. However, my favorite color changes with the weather and my mood. For example, on rainy days I like bright yellow-green, but if I’m feeling a bit down I prefer a grayish purple. It’s kind of fun to find my favorite color each day, so I have no intention of choosing just one favorite.
