A hypothetical chat conversation:
acheron: Hey mary my son wants a god I dont know what to do.
maryf: Oh... it shouldn't really be a problem.
acheron: It is! I really don't like them =/
maryf: He might grow out of it eventually, dont worry about it. My daughter was the same once.
acheron: Yeah but I don't want it in my house! I feel like he's going to go for one of the vicious scary ones!
maryf: =/ You shouldn't let this bother you so much, it'll be fine.
acheron: They're dangerous!
maryf: They're not! they can be peaceful and pretty pleasant. It's a good experience.
acheron: Yeah... it's just I have bad personal experiences and stuff and it just reminds me of them and I think the same thing will happen to him.
maryf: I suppose that can be disconcerting, yes, but it's his choice. You can't stop him in the end.
acheron: I could... I am his father.
maryf: No you can't! In the end it's his choice.
acheron: How so...? I'd be paying for it in the end.
maryf: You can't stop his thoughts and feelings about it.
acheron: Yeah... I guess so. I feel like if I keep denying it, he'll forget after a while.
maryf: You can't restrict him, he'll just do it later or do it behind your back. People do that ALL the time against their parents knowledge.
acheron: Wtf.... seriously?
maryf: Yes!
acheron: Damn... okay. I guess I'll just let him.
maryf: Which one is he interested in btw?
acheron: Ah... I don't even know. I think he likes a couple different breeds but he won't say.
maryf: Breeds lol.. that's a way to put it.
acheron: Yeah?
maryf: Yeah... I usually call them flavours.
acheron: Why......?
maryf: Because people choose the different types subjectively, just like flavours ^^
acheron: It's kind of weird to call a dog a flavour though
maryf: A dog?
acheron: Yeah... well... the different breeds.
maryf: Breeds of dog?
acheron: Yeah... my son wants a dog?
maryf: ......
acheron: Mary?
acheron: Mary, you there?
acheron: Mary...
