honestly I feel bad for the parents though, if the toddler had understanding of what it meant anyway, but like must be a blow to the self esteem to not have one of the parents be position one lol
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.
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.
Grandparents. They buy the donuts when the kids sees them at the supermarket, they put the money in the ride things at the mall, and when the kids being a little shit they leave it to the parents to tell them off.
The only way parents take top prize is if the kid forgets they have grandparents (or if they don't have grandparents).
