"...create a story to reconcile the video with their vision of the world."
I find this happens a lot online, I notice it especially on reddit. People like to fill in the blanks no matter what the video or picture depicts. I even hear it in the daily morning show I listen to on the radio - the hosts will read a story about someone and make up some continuing story based on their own assumptions.
I think it's an incredible confirmation that we as people continue to feel the need to relate to each other with stories, in any medium.
I can tell by the smile in your mother’s eyes that she was proud of you! Dads in general are more reticent so your Dad’s stoic reaction is not surprising. He may have been trying to see the practical value of the exposure while we know the publicity is of great value that may take a while to be monetized.
I don’t know if I’m just attuned to the immigrant community as a first generation immigrant myself (and immigration lawyer), but I could sense the joy and pride they were feeling in this video. It may seem subtle to others but it was so there. Love it.

Oh my I can’t even say how much I love this. I’ve had this exact interaction with my own family!
