Transcript:
Roger: Peter, Fox! You da man! Paige: Daddy, I don't know how to tell you this gently. Peter isn't going to play in today's game, or any other game, most likely. He's the low guy on the totem pole... fourth string, if that... varsity baseball's designated bench-warmer. You just assumed he was a star. The truth is he's not. Peter Fox! You da man! Paige: Daddy, don't be so clueless. You act like nothing's changed.

Am I seeing this right? It looks like Roger has indeed understood what Paige just said, but it doesn’t matter. He’s going to be proud of his son and route him on regardless. Nothing’s changed; he still loves his son.
Or maybe I’m just being mushy right now.

In complete denial Ibejo?
When our parents did this stuff to us, and we got away from them as fast as possible, is it any wonder why we’re doing the same thing for the same result? :D

@pgn—
You da man. That is exactly what Roger is doing and that is the best Dad there is.

Comixavier - Roger is only embarrassing ONE child - the arrogant girl. Probably could use it. Pete, on the other hand, could really use a boost and Dad’s giving it all he’s got.
WAY TO GO, ROGER!One of my favorite post-it note pads has a drawing of a wacky person that’s jumping for joy and it says, “Why let reality wreck your day?”
