Gotcha. It really didn't register as different. Since he coached my baseball team and ran some other community kids programs, I was pretty used to seeing him working with groups of kids.

Upon seeing my photo, my mother-in-law commented that I look like a teacher. So, I guess I must have somehow evoked a different kind of feel in my professional outfit/demeanour. That’s what I meant by a different perspective. A different side of your dad that you aren’t so likely to witness at home.

Does that make sense?

I'm not sure I follow. Don't we all see our parents from a different perspective over the course of our lives?
