I think it's cute the way ffather and sn speak to each other through the public. You know, like how if mom and dad were fighting, dad might say "ask your mother to pass the peas" instead of asking her himself.

If, however, my analysis of W is correct and the prime motivating force in his life is a desire to show his dad who's the real man in the family, I think thius will only make matters worse.
