In this episode, I found out why you never see Mike's parents, they're DEAD. But I bet they would have wanted Joey baptized too, because Mike was baptized but said that he renounced his baptism.

most kidnapped children are kidnapped by parents in divorce situations. Few are kidnapped by pedophiles.

You know what's funny is that in our Evangelism Christianity, we don't believe in baptizing our infants, until they're old enough to know what's right & wrong.

In my opinion, the notion that a florist is not a job for a man is a very ignorant notion.  I am a man and I have a lot of appreciation for flowers and plants! But I guess that everyone has a right to voice his or her opinion. This is America!

They said Mike's parents died in season 3, in the Flash Back"The Wedding".

@BlameRepublicans Yeah, I know. Micheal's parents died in a car accident when he was very young and after that, he was raised by his uncle who now works as a florist and Archie said that a florist is no job for a man.

@pytko3 you actually find that out in season one.

@pytko3 Did we forget that these are fictional characters.

ENOUGH ARGUING! Focus on the funny stuff. For instance, Archie: " I wouldn't disgrace the name of baptism by talking about it in front of an athiest!" Mike *Walks in door*: "Hi everybody." Archie: "Listen you athiest, i want that kid baptized!" You gotta admit that's pretty funny.

Just because they had their son baptized, does not mean that they would condone forcing baptism on anyone else's child including their own son's. They might have even supported Mikes decision to renounce his baptism is that is what he really wanted.
