Why would you spoil the punchline in the title?

What's the logic in this?

There is none.

My interpretation: The father is possibly misremembering how quickly he achieved milestones in his early adulthood and he now has unrealistic expectations for his son.

Or the father is just giving his son shit.

My take is that it's either similar to saying that the dad had to walk uphill both ways or it's just a piece of absurdist humor where the stupidity of the statement is itself the joke.

Thank you for putting a name to something I couldn't express so concise! Apparently I really enjoy absurdist humor lol
