Steve,
I DEFINITELY DON'T understand you.

What did your Father say about you and the mold?
They threw it out the window?
Hilarious 😂 like you ….. my father and I never saw eye to eye on politics. But also like you my father had a tremendous sense of humor which was able to bridge many conflicting emotions and issues. I think humor is part of Gods way of lightning people up so they don’t take themselves and their views too seriously. After all; Here today. Gone tomorrow.
It reminds me of the time my step mother, my father and I went out for dinner. And suddenly my step-mother (Delores) suddenly chimed in (after not talking for sometime) quite abruptly; “Listen if I have to listen to any more of this, I’m going to walk out of this restaurant and leave both of you!” At which point my father rolled his eyes 👀 and was silent. The contrast was unbelievably stark! And it was all I could do to hold back my laughter. It definitely had to be controlled. Sometimes serious and humor are so close in emotion that one has to discriminate when it is appropriate to laugh and when it is important to just listen and be still.
