It’s actually a comedic contrast between how short tempered Dad can be with Calvin, yet somehow he can find endless positivity in this…

On the other hand, it actually is a healthy lesson for Calvin in trying to find positives in a tough situation.

So, props to Calvin’s Dad for this one.

Calvin is right though, he’s reaching pretty far for that positivity.
