That's fine. But I kept seeing people referencing what families do together, when of course, when talking about Jacko, we aren't talking about family, so it's totally irrelevant to the discussion.

That is, it shouldn't matter how appropriate it is that you and your father are affectionate, or you and your kids or nephews. Simply because, Michael Jackson is not a family member to any of these kids and never will be or was.
