"He's not sure how they got that way, but he jokes his eldest, Cole, was born wearing a beanie "and not the ones they put on babies at the hospital - like, a cool, orange one with a Carhartt label." Cole, Pally says, even used his bar-mitzvah clothing budget to buy a vintage suit and a tub of La Mer facial moisturizer. ("I was like, 'What the hell do you know from La Mer?'")"
""One of the things I learned early on is that showing your kids your favorite stuff is a recipe for you to be disappointed about your kid," he says. "You have to wait. There have been so many times when I have been like, 'You guys are gonna love this movie,' and within five minutes my kids are like, 'Can I go on my iPad?'""
Three children, ages 13, 12, and 8, have exhibited a naturally cool demeanor and independent cultural tastes since early childhood. The eldest prioritized personal style, choosing a vintage suit and high-end skincare over traditional bar-mitzvah clothing. Parents' own tastes influenced the children indirectly rather than through deliberate teaching. Attempts to share favorite films or media often end with the children disengaging and returning to personal devices. The children remain largely unimpressed by a parent's professional projects and instead follow other entertainers and creators, with the youngest particularly fixated on conversations about a favorite performer.
