Oh.  I thought the original author was implying that her
father saying he was talking to the "kids", was unusual. ;-)
I don't think it is unusual for parents of any age to call
their children "kids/children", regardless of their ages.

My mother is very spry at 80, so I just never think
about people having parents who are not.  So, I certainly
didn't think starting a collection was unusual.
