#btw this isn't Grant/Nicky propaganda but also actually yes it is

I was relistening to some of the trial arc stuff the other day (aheem heem), and found myself wondering who on earth Nick went to Universal Studios with, since it obviously wasn't Glenn. Then I remembered this adorable dad fact:

have I mentioned that Darryl's dad facts are objectively the best

So yeah, Darryl acting as a substitute dad taking Nick along with them whenever he brought Grant to theme parks true and real and beautiful to me now!

[Which got me thinking about the very non-canonical scenario in which stay-at-home-cooks-and-cleans-and-really-kinda-does-everything-for-his-son coach dad Darryl finds out that Nick sometimes spends a few months at a time by himself due to his dad's line of work and insists that Nick stay at the Wilson household so eventually he does and he and Grant get quite close as a result but Grant can't quite understand why Nick gets so emotional every time the family sits together for dinner and insists on helping Darryl around the house and laughs so wholeheartedly at all his dumb dad jokes and OUGH SORRY IT'S JUST NICK CLOSE MAN OUGHHHH]
