I’m back and I’m on a full-sized keyboard again! If you hung with me during Tuesday’s dumpster fire of a blog post, thank you for not cancelling your subscription. I’ll try not to let that happen too often. I can’t say “ever again” because Netflix has a vast number of shows available to binge watch and I might end up down another 90’s crime docu-drama hole instead of writing for my scheduled posts.
Anyway…I was laughing at my boss the other day because he was talking about ordering flowers for his wife for Valentine’s Day, and the florist, who is a friend of his, asked him what his wife’s favorite colors are.
His response: “We’ve been married twenty years. I haven’t had time to learn these things yet.”
I chuckled about it, but later that week, I was REALLY FEELING IT myself when this conversation took place at dinner:
The Husband Dude: So what is your girlfriend’s favorite color?
Shane: Um. I dunno.
THD: You don’t know?
Shane: No.
Me: Ask your Dad what my favorite color is.
Shane: Dad, what’s Mom’s favorite color?
THD:
Me:
THD: It’s black!
Me: Um…no.
THD: Red?
Me: You aren’t even trying, are you?
THD: What’s MY favorite color?
Me: Orange.
THD:
Me: You love orange! When we first got married, you told me you liked bright colors so I used to buy you orange and yellow shirts all the time!
THD: Orange has NEVER been my favorite color.
Me: Black, then.
THD: No.
Me: That’s literally the only color you wear now.
THD: That’s all I wear but that’s not my favorite color.
Me: So what’s your favorite color?
THD: Blue.
Me: Really? So is mine!
Us:
Shane:
Also Shane: How long have you been married?
Me: Nineteen years next month.
THD: You’ve got some time to learn your girl’s favorite color.
I guess that applies to all of us.
Stay weird, my friends. Normal is boring!

February 15, 2019 at 5:36 amWell, I can top that. My husband knows my favorite color, it’s green. Problem is every Valentines Day, birthday, anniversary or flower giving occasion he goes to the florist and tells them I like green. Which means I get a green vase filled with leaves, sprigs of shrubs, fern fronds, green dyed carnations and possibly a white rose or two. He pays a fortune and most of them are so monochromatically dull I want to cry. Yes, yes…. I’ve told him again and again that when it comes to flowers I want color, but he always forgets and says green.

February 15, 2019 at 8:00 amOh no! All green bouquets are not good! Maybe we need to start an email campaign to remind him! LOL

February 15, 2019 at 5:42 amAww, you guys are so cute and you’re still learning about each other. That’s awesome! Hope y’all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Mona

I don’t think my husband knows what my favorite color is (black), either. I have to assume his favorite color is either red or blue (because when he wears non-work shirts, those are the two colors that show up the most in his wardrobe).
I know my son’s favorite is orange…because he insists on putting ONE orange thing in every piece of art (except the lino cut print he did recently, which is all blue), if you ask him to pick a shirt, it’s almost always orange and a few years ago when we were getting ready to redo his room he asked if we could paint it traffic cone orange (we did not, because just..no.).

February 15, 2019 at 9:36 amLOL. My son is obsessed with the color gold. I bought him some gold high top sneakers and he wore them with his suit to a formal dance at school! If he could paint his room gold, he probably would!

February 15, 2019 at 11:44 amSo, I was reading this while JoJo was at work. I texted her and said: “What’s my favorite color?” Her response? “None of your business.” So, I said: “Yours is blue. What’s mine?” Ten minutes later, her response was:: “Green.” She was right–but she had to think really hard to get it right and I’m not entirely sure she didn’t just have a lucky guess. LOL

February 15, 2019 at 12:31 pmWell you’ve only been married a little over a year, so consider that a victory! 🙂

February 15, 2019 at 8:15 pmI just asked the husband “love, what’s my favorite colour?” I thought he was singingcthe rainbow song! Red, yellow pink, blue. “Stop already.” I came over from the Bad Ass women; I am glad to follow here 😄😊😇
Kat says
February 17, 2019 at 10:08 amApparently, this is a common problem with couples! LOL. Thank you so much for reading and following!

February 16, 2019 at 3:37 pmThat is awesome! I love this and it’s super true. I doubt mine knows my favorite color either!
Kat says
February 17, 2019 at 10:08 amFunny how that works! LOL
Adie says
February 17, 2019 at 1:39 amPup would have fun guessing my favorite color, because it changes so frequently. Looking at my hair is usually a solid jumping off point, though. God help him when I dye it rainbow lol!
Kat says
February 17, 2019 at 10:09 amI enjoy all different colors, but blue is definitely my favorite. It’s my go-to!

February 18, 2019 at 2:52 pmGood lord–I just realized that after almost 30 years, I’m no longer sure what Ken’s favourite colour is. I think it might be green…? I’ll have to find a subtle way to find out:-)
Kat says
February 18, 2019 at 7:08 pmLOL. You’ll have to be sneaky!
