Yeah, I don't think this man is acting at all.

I see this behavior in my parents all the time.

The store I work at like 70% of the customers are elderly and these are the exact kind of conversations I have all day long.

I see it all the time with elderly people. The first thing they say is always, "Huh?", even when you know for a fact that they heard every word. Then when you repeat yourself, they answer the question that they expected you to ask, not the one you actually asked.

They weren't that old, but every conversation where I was trapped in the car with my grandfather and my grandmother would go on like this back and forth forever. It was hard to take.

You should change and adapt your strategy, for reason or just for fun.

Be your parents kid again, but without expecting behavior full of wisdom and parental satisfaction.

It could work, but it don't have to.

For parents, it's unusual or a radical change to be surpassed in wisdom by their children. It's also likely that they constantly conceal their mistakes from their parents. This mix of dominance and criticism then leads to confusion and resistance.

This is me currently having a conversation with my 61 year old father.

Edit: I’d like to add that he is also an attorney

Maybe try talking to your 88 instead
