All you have to do is take a look at the expression on Dad's face in the background to get a feel for where this poor kid learned how to be a juvenile delinquent.

Actually I had a different take on this. First of all, he's around. Many kids don't have a father in the house. He's probably pretty ticked off that his kid is such a loser.

I took note of that, too. Thanks for your post, ladyjane.
