The story is narrated by the central character, Larry
Delaney, who is actually thinking back on a particular incident from his childhood. The
fact that he is an adult is important because of the distance it gives him from the
event as well as the perspective he is likely to have gained as an adult. The incident
would have been confusing at best had he tried to narrate it at the time as a young
child. It also allows Larry to reflect back on the incident as well as the rest of his
Father's life to make sure that the story doesn't end in a sickly sweet happily ever
after but, as most stories do, with further downfalls and incidents not
described.
