Mr. Epstein and his daughter Esther were discussing some of her dating choices, of which Mr. Epstein did not entirely approve. Trying to break through to him Esther asked, "Papa, would you prefer to have the son in law of your dreams but have me miserable, or would you rather let me choose the man of my dreams and be happy, and you learn to love him?

Mr. Epstein pondered for a minute and responded, "I'd rather have the son in law of my choice and YOU learn to love him!"
