Some might not see this as a big deal, and perhaps it's not, but to me toy construction has always been a dad activity. I fully believe they intentionally made the mom the builder to subvert the traditional gender roles.

Dad comes back, drenched because of the rain pissing it down outside, puts the milk in the fridge, fixes the bike while the son is screaming at his Christmas being ruined due to the bike not having a top tube and how the other kids will laugh at him using the step-through.
The dad pulls out the old milk carton from the trash and points to the missing kid displayed on the side panel. Rips it up and uses the missing kid's photo as a spoke card, telling his son to tell the other kids that they'll go missing and this will happen to their photos if they keep at it. They both laugh.
The mom then comes in and asks the dad to unscrew the coffee jar. The son and father look at each other and shrug. The entire family laughs and we cut to an interlaced shot while the credits scroll up in an uneven hand-rolled manner.
