Danny straight up not realizing his parents don’t know he’s Phantom

He thinks the whole “Phantom is evil!” tirade is just a schtick to help hide his identity

Genuine assumption that the whole thing with ghost-tracking devices going towards Danny is just an inside-joke

It doesn’t help at ALL that Maddie and Jack are the type to go along with whatever Danny says without thinking too hard on it

“Where are you going, Danny?” “Fighting crime” “Okay, baby, be back at 6 for dinner”

At MANY POINTS Phantom has called Maddie “mom” and Jack “dad” to varying results

At one moment both sides are so embarrassed and flustered that they just straight up stop fighting and call it quits for the day

Another instance where Danny’s parents realize it’s him BUT think he’s cosplaying. Jack is very enthusiastically like “oh, Danny, you can’t just let us shoot at you without saying something! I love the outfit!”

Danny, who assumes Jack means “we are shooting badly ON PURPOSE and you can’t get nearly hit just because it looks cooler also I love the new glitter on the look” is like “okay, dad, bye, love you”

It happens enough that Maddie and Jack sit down together and try to decipher why Phantom keeps calling them this. Varying wild theories

“He called us mom and dad to trick us into feeling for him even though he’s an evil ghost!”

“...maybe it’s just a slip up, like calling your teacher mom and dad?”

“Oh my god did Phantom’s parents shoot at him and kill him? Is that why he thinks we’re parent-like? Because he’s from an abusive household?”

“We need to parent the dead ghost”

After a bit, Maddie and Jack start parenting Phantom. Danny, who assumes they just gave up the schtick since the GIW are off their scent, just rolls with it
