My youngest doesn’t realise you’re supposed to have one favourite. Just thinks of it as meaning they really like it, so they have 50 favorite people,5 favorite colours,10 favourite foods.
I mean thats how normal healthy people think from what i understand. You shouldnt constantly be ranking people in your head. Ofcourse you have groups of priority but going “this is No1 this is No2,…” would be a pretty weird way to live your life.
Obsession with absolute numeric rankings is just something that gets drilled into our heads early on by school and sometimes parental expectations.
After asking hundreds of times, my kids are resigned to the fact that I don’t have a favourite colour. But I still get looks of disbelief when I tell nieces and nephews.
Must be real fun when you ask which 10 people they want at their birthday, what color they want their room painted and what they want for their special dinner!
Thats the neat part, they dont. They are lil dum dum goblins. Whoever the favorite person is, changes on a daily, hourly or minute basis.
If they are still saying it as a teenager then maybe be a lil bit sad. But at that point its just a rude thing to say even if true.
