I will concede on the fact that I should call him Puckett. Saying that he is “Max’s Dad” all the time sort of robs him of his own personality, and puts more weight on his relationship to his son than his own identity.
HOWEVER: I am not going to call the guy that I am fucking crushing on “Mr Puckett”. Like, what am I? The local 16 year old babysitter? I have class here.
