My Father and/is Stranger Things

So Easter came late to my household. As it was snowing in March, we decided to wait until this past weekend to do it. My father came to celebrate. I, in my infinite wisdom, decided to buy him Stranger Things for his Easter gift basket.

I am not sure what happened but here’s what happened:

Vina: Hey, I want to put on the first episode for the TV show I bought you.
Father: Is this a space movie?
Vina: No. It’s not about spaces and it’s a TV show.
Father: I can tell it’s about space.
Vina: No. There’s no space.

Father pouts for the first thirty minutes of the first episode. At 40 minutes in:
Father: You need to pause this! I have been holding my pee for the last five minutes.
(This means he’s involved.)

He comes back, we finish first episode. No one says anything as the credits roll. Netflix of course starts the second episode. Again nothing said as we ease into the second episode. He then starts talking to the characters, like they can hear him.

Then ending credits roll for second episode. Nothing. Not a word. Netflix starts episode number three. Again silence, but he makes himself more comfortable with pillows and blankets as the intro credits start. He continues to talk to the characters.

At the end of the third episode it’s 11:05 pm:
Vina: I am tired. I have to go to bed. Work tomorrow.
Father: What are you talking about?
Vina: I am going to bed.
Father: To bed? How many more episodes?
Vina: Five.
Father: Five! So, you start this and then you go to bed.
Vina: I told you it’s eight episodes. (Now I show him again the dvd box that I bought him. He looks at for a moment)
Father: Why did you even start this? I can’t believe you.
Vina: I don’t-I have-I
Father: No. You aren’t the only who has get up in the morning, you know. It’s fine. I will finish it when I get home. I can’t believe you.
Vina stumbles to her bed, really confused as to what happened.
