Sometimes when I come home from work and empty my pockets I find I’ve left one of my work pens (actually, marker…I haven’t used an actual pen or pencil in a long time) in my pocket. The weird thing lately is I’ve only been forgetting to take the green pens out of my pocket, and those are the ones that make it home. I use 3 colors throughout the day (red, blue, green). They all serve the same purpose, so it’s not like I only use the green pen near the end of the day or during a specific job that I might forget it more often. It is simply luck that I keep taking the same color home over and over again.

Or is it? I’m starting to wonder if there is something unconscious going on here. Do I like green pens so much that I secretly want to carry them with me at all time? Or do I simply not care for them as much as my other colors, making sure I always put the red and blue back in my pen holder while I neglect their green brother? This has happened way too many times to be purely coincidence. Something is happening here!
