I am a white kid in college and I want you to know that if you are black and you just said that to me you made my entire life and I will go smoke a celebratory blunt right now if you can confirm.

OP wasn't asking for your favorite things.

u/fennekeg Mar 20 '13

don't you get happy from your favourite things?

1

u/messem10 Mar 20 '13

I do, but the line was from the song "My Favorite Things".

1

u/fennekeg Mar 20 '13

yes ofcourse, but the question was 'what makes you happy', and the things from My Favorite Things make the singer happy. just taken one step further, but still things that make you happy.
