Honestly as annoying as this can feel, at least the parents showed interest. Unless their goal is to ridicule your hobby in front of their friends.
Honestly the set up here speaks more to me that a kid it being anti social and parents are trying to pull them out of it. That there would be a family gathering and the kid is not already part of it shows some sort of dysfunction.
What cracked me up is that's a grown-ass man.
The discontinuity between his apparent age and the tone that the parent was taking is what got me. Also how he's hiding in a dark attic with bloodshot eyes...
