he's a dad.

Nick is a dad already.  He claims he's been doing this for a long time, but I don't remember it.  True, my memory may not be super reliable now that my brain mass has been reduced by 30%....but I think this just started.

the spatula is just a bonus.

Nick comes home and leaves his long, black uniform socks on.  Now all he has to do is get some Tevas or birkenstocks and layer away.

I can just see it now.  Owen brings his first girlfriend home.  There sits Dad with his gnarly socks on pulled up to his knees...
