Who IS this guy?

I witnesssed a few disturbing conversations yesterday.

Mom told the Old Man she wanted pancakes for Christmas breakfast. My ears instantly perked up at the word 'pancake' as I love those things, particularly shaped as a kitty cat and covered in syrup. The Old Man said he doesn't know how to make pancakes. Seriously. Who doesn't know how to make pancakes???

Mom also told the Old Man that the movie 'Elf' is showing at the Drafthouse this week, and she wants to go see it. The Old Man sat there with a blank stare on his face, and said he's never seen it. I barked, 'C'mon, it's a CLASSIC. Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf. Surely you've seen it.'

Nope. The Old Man has never seen Elf. He doesn't know how to make pancakes. Who IS this guy?

Christmas is ruined.
