Me: imagine you had a litter of kittens
Kid: no, I'm a boy and boys don't like kittens
Me: oof big yikes
Kid: what yikes?
Me: I think it's really silly to try to make your personal preference into a generalization. Lots of men and boys like kittens by the way.
Kid: well I only like dinosaurs, you wouldn't understand
Me: what's your favorite dinosaur?
Kid: pterodactyl
Me: that's not a dinosaur dude
