There comes a time when you see your parents as the rest of the world sees them.This was an incredibly touching episode. Kevin had always wondered why his Dad came home grumpy from work. Now, after a day watching his father at work he learns that...1. His father is a shipping manager. 2. It is a high pressure job. 3.
