favorite number

4 is my favorite number because it can be drawn and accepted two distinctly different ways and definitely not because it was my 4th grade crushes favorite. I’d never admit it but it’s also because it’s not 3 or 5 and everyone always picks 3 or 5 and not because I just didn’t feel as unique saying “me too” to their favorite number. Really it’s because 4 is so perfect. 4 corners to a square. 4 seats at the table. One for you, one for me and 2 for all the jokes and laughs we’ll remember forever. 3 is cool though. 2 is always content. And 1 is lonely without its 0. But 4 is the perfect number for me.
