Why does the dad ask "how was your day" twice? Why does he carry his grown son, like, three feet from the door to the dinner table? Where does he put his keys when he walks in the door? Why is the girl wearing a puffer vest inside the house on a sunny day? Why does Rand Paul have a robot voice? Why does the nuclear weapon only blow in one wall? These are the questions that will now keep you up at night.
