My Favorite Color? or favorite neutral?

My personal favorite color is

RED.

A teacher stopped me to relay this story:

The teacher gave the students a beginning of the year survey.

One question was "what is your favorite color?"

A child raised his hand and said "I don't have a favorite color!!"

"OK" she responded

then the child said "but I could write my favorite neutral-Black"

"That would be just fine" she replied.

Then relayed the story to me. 

And I thought hey they listen to me!!!
