This comedian admits he has a favorite child and explains why. His explanation and reasoning for having a preferred child are hysterical. Watch the short, but laugh-out-loud funny, clip to hear who comedian Mike Gaffney has selected as the favorite of his children and why.

Parents love all their children equally and have no favorites. They cannot possibly ever imagine life without their little bundles of joy. These are phrases that you’ve heard all parents say at one time or another, and likely, if you’re a mother or a father, you’ve probably said both of these, too.

How could any parent, if they were blessed with multiple children, have a favorite? Is that even possible? Do parents have one of their children who is a little more favored and liked in their eyes? Every parent, when asked these or any similar questions, would emphatically respond that, of course, they do not have a favorite.

But is that always true? Not being a parent myself, I don’t know. But I would suspect parents do secretly have a favorite, despite what they might say. They likely connect with one of their children more than the others, but that doesn’t mean they love the others any less.  In a clip posted on YouTube, Mike, a father of two, admits that, while he loves them both, his daughter is his favorite. He states why that is, too.

“My son is 21, my daughter is 22,” Mike said. “I love them; they’re great. My daughter is my favorite. You’re not supposed to say that, but she’s my favorite. I say that ‘cause she moved out, so she’s awesome. My son’s still wandering around.”

Later in the clip, Mike mentioned some of the strange and hilarious things his son has done, including devising a way to keep his eyes open while sneezing to “see what his face looked like” and giving an odd response to what seemed like a straightforward question at dinner.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”
