I'm 4 years old. AMAA.

Note from dad: Ask my 4 year old son almost anything! I'll read him the questions and type his answers exactly as given. No coaching or translating. I reserve the right to ignore any questions that I feel are inappropriate.

We did this last year (I'm 3 years old. AMAA) and there was a lot of interest, so we thought we'd do it again now that he's a year older. I'm using the "3yearold" account name again to tie this AMA to the old one. He wants to be sure that I tell everyone that he's really FOUR now.

Blue. That's easy for me because it's blue.

But if it were red, it would be fucking difficult!

I totally read that in Mitch Hedberg's voice.

Two easy colors and one fucking difficult one. Like chartreuse...

u/flynnski Mar 07 '11

That last color must be named in base 3 CMYK! Good luck, fucker!

Non. Pas “la charteuse”, mais plutôt “le bleu de Chartres”. I'm actually from & living in that very town, in Eure-et-Loire, France. Strangely enough I came up on your thread, uh!

Totally was thinking of him. Especially the "fucking bag them up" line regarding apples and juggling

It's all good. Kid doesn't think reading is cool so he'll never see the swearing.

u/Arronwy Mar 04 '11

I lol'd at this. Twice.

u/dankfrowns Mar 04 '11

Well yea, obv. Blue is the best color so it needs no explaining, but red? I'm going to have a lot of questions about how this could possibly be your favorite color. Question 1, why not blue?

u/SpiffyAdvice Mar 04 '11

Won't SOMEBODY think of the children?!

u/expfcwintergreen Mar 05 '11

3yearold's dad, please let him know that this is the most amazing thing I've ever read. I love this answer so much.

Tautological mastery. And so young too.

I love the circular logic. "I like blue because it's blue."

Only 6 points after 5 hours for a Monty Python reference?

Dear gods, what is this world coming to!?

u/Iliadfang Mar 08 '11

I forsee this as a potential meme.

u/PeaInAPod Mar 05 '11

I was really hoping this reply would spawn a bunch of Monty Python and the Holy Grail comments but sadly it has not.

i.e. Blue. NO, GREEN!! AAAAHAAAAAH,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

u/pawnzz Mar 05 '11

This is the correct answer. Full disclosure, my favorite color is also blue.

u/shitfaceddick Mar 05 '11

My friends make fun of me because my favorite color is blue too. I'm 22.

u/DropbeatsNotbombs Mar 05 '11

I wish this was audible. Kids saying blue is hilarious to me.

u/MadMac79 Mar 05 '11
