Janie Grace Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 14. It's the date of my elementary school best friend's b-day. As a result, I have loved it since I was 6 years old, and still do! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmrich Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 4 I didn't realize it was my favorite until after about 20th time of saying guess a number 1 - 10 (to pick first chore) my kids would all shout 4. Apparently that is the only number I pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 It has always been 2. I never fought over who got to be first in line in elementary school. I always wanted to be second :001_smile:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a little rhyme... "first is worst, second is best, third is the one with the hairy chest..." Maybe that's why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmoira Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) 14 42! 7 17 and 47. 49 My first thought was 21 and it's the number I chose for my jersey in junior high volleyball, but I can't point to a specific reason why I like it. Lots of 7s, both multiples and digits. Edited August 21, 2011 by nmoira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah1615 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 16 has always been my favorite number. I think it's because my birthday is on the 16th. I also like 4, which of course, is the square root of 16. They were my numbers for soccer and volleyball when I was school. I still have it in my screen name too--16 is my number and 15 is my husband's favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember that rhyme, but it could come from it. It's also a big part of my birth date. I'm glad my favorite number isn't 3 from this little rhyme :001_smile:.

Kertie Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 13. My birthdate is the 13th, and the fact that my 13th birthday was on Friday the 13th and was my most fun birthday at that point sealed the deal. Friday the 13ths are good days for me...wonder what that means?!? :lol: The hospital I had the kids in does the usual thing where the 13th floor is not called that--the elevator buttons go from 12 to 14, a practice I've always thought silly since it doesn't actually change the fact that there IS a 13th floor...and this hospital's 13th floor is the Family Birth Center. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieC Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 4 There are four people in my family, my first child was born on 4-4, loved 4-H as a child, like Obama (44th president), plus it's just a nice, simple, even number. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabeline Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 5 Funny, I don't see anyone one else with the same number. It is a multiple of my birthdate. It is not even but it is a nice even number to group things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nono Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 10, but specifically 5 & 5. I can roll 2 fives like crazy at a craps table. Maybe 10 isn't my favorite number. Maybe anything with a $ in front of it is! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Actually, my favorite number isn't 6 -- it's 7, but when my niece (who is now 22) was 2 and I was her nanny, she and I sang this together all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaJo Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 5 When I was a little girl I used to find nickels all the time. I mean ALL THE TIME. So five became my favorite number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) I remember a little rhyme... "first is worst, second is best, third is the one with the hairy chest..." Maybe that's why! I remember it "third is a turd" :) Mine is 8. I really liked writing them when I was young. All swirly and stuff. It was 7 for awhile. Don't know why. Then I started writing 8s.
