Favorite Color

When I was a small boy, my mother made me a sweater. She let me choose the color. I really liked orange, so I chose orange. Orange is not a good color for me, but I wore it everywhere.

When I was in high school, I really liked purple. I wore a lot of purple clothes.

In college I wore a lot of gray clothes. I liked exercising and I thought gray clothes looked like exercise clothes.

At the end of college, my girlfriend suggested white clothes. I liked white because it seemed very clean and pure.

Now I wear different colors, but I really like blue. I think blue is a good color for my skin, hair, and eyes.

What is your favorite color? Do you think it is a good color for you?

Candy Corn

Do you have a favorite candy?

When I was young, we often ate a candy called candy corn. At Halloween and Thanksgiving candy corn was very popular.

Candy corn was made with honey, so it was very sweet. The shape looks kind of like Indian corn. Traditionally the candy was white, yellow, and orange. I would take one at a time. First I would bite off the little white part. Then I would bite off the yellow part. Finally I would eat the orange part. If I could perfectly bite off one color, I was happy.

Although I ate them slowly, I could not stop. I always ate a lot of them.

Now they are not made with honey. Now they use high fructose corn syrup instead. I think it is really bad for our health. I miss the old candy corn.
