LOL, it’s funny isn’t it? The little girl is 11-years-old. In her 11 years…the parents must have noticed that she already has certain preferences. Maybe she prefers one parent more than the other. Maybe she prefers one food over the other. Perhaps she also has preferences for TV shows and toys and games or a particular color. In the next 7-8 years of her life…she’ll have preferences for fashion…hobbies…music…relatives…etc etc. These things are not OBLIVIOUS to parents. You’ll often hear parents telling others…“Oh my child prefers roti to chawal.” “Oh my child doesn’t like meat.” …“Oh my child loves this particular teacher.” “Oh my child likes studying History over science.”
BUT…STRANGELY…it’s hard for parents to FATHOM that their son/daughter could actually have a preference when it comes to their future spouse.
