Your father was obviously the protagonist here by responding with anything other than "how are you and wifey?"
Luckie,
If the father were the one telling the story, I would have advice for him too.....like drop the "bringing the family shame" bit. What you are incapable of comprehending is the futility of talking to the father when it is the son that is in front of you.
