Wow, way to cover up there Dad!



Abby walks in on the dad while he is just getting out of the shower, and he doesn't even try to cover himself for what, 20 seconds at least?!
Yet he seems not to know what's going on, yeah OK!



"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

LOL his character was so bizarre. I didn't know what to think of him. He was a great dad....but also flirty (in one of the party scenes he tells a girl she looks good in a dress) and also mentioned along with everyone else several times how cute Abbey was. He let her come on to him only enough though for him to then be loyal and stop anything. It's like he just let her flirt and be sexual with him but never acted on it so he's still a good guy??? He was so oblivious in so many ways, and then also not. He was kind of just an idiot all around.

Thinking with his dick was the problem. Unfortunately, when you put his behavior into that kind of perspective, it's not at all implausible. As a gay male, you'd be surprised how well I've learned just as much as women how moronic men can be when they're solely thinking with their dicks. So their his stupidity wasn't implausible but the mom should have gotten a wake up call a long time ago. And yea, the dad should be represented as anything but a good guy.
