Why did we need this scene? I didn't really get what it had to do with the story of the movie at all. Felt out of place. Someone who felt the differently/the same? Please voice your opinion on this.
Also, I feel this scene is so overused. It basically is in every film with a school kid in it (I know it's not, but it feels that way).
My last question: Do the US states really have this parents day thing and does it really play such an important role in the kids' life?

I think it was to show more of the emotional side of Nelson.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

It showed he learned to honor his emotional commitments.
During his old money driven life, he had missed visits with his then girlfriend's parents.
