no, I find it a bit awkward. Bro was always a mysterious enigma character (or rather that seemed to be what he wanted to be seen as) and to be honest didn't strike me as someone who would really get that involved in the dating business of the kids. i could see him giving dave a hard time about it maybe, but not in the protective sense so much as the dude basically trolled dave throughout his childhood and why stop now.

but it's weird to see him doing that sort of thing in an "i must be a good father" sense, and particularly in regards to roses.
