At the risk of sounding sexist, are they really trying to make something about the difference between a man's reaction and a woman's reaction to a missing grandchild? My DH would NOT be shrieking "the baby's missing!" He'd be terribly concerned, of course, but his behavior would be different then MY being upset and crying.
"Flat affect...you know what that means, don't you"...HOW CONDESCENDING that Mason is!
