have a fable for (something)
To have a strong or particular preference, affinity, or weakness for something. I always had a fable for animals growing up, so I knew that I wanted to be a veterinarian someday. You know, I've never really had a fable for pumpkin pie. I might have a slice at Thanksgiving, but that's about it. Luckily, my sister had a fable for math and was able to tutor me over the years.
