The Matching Penis Theory

This theory states that we have to do this flesh-cutting to the kid because we did it to his dad. 
The scenarios for the imagined situations that might occur if he’s not cut would be too insulting and idiotic even for TV sitcom mentality. 
The big lie here is that it’s all about protecting the kid’s future when he might see that his father’s penis is different. Because explaining things to kids is, of course, not something we could do.
But what’s really at issue here is the father’s discomfort in having to deal on a sometimes-daily basis with the fact that he had part of his own penis cut off before he had any say in the matter and for extremely questionable reasons. Dad doesn’t want to be confronted with that every time he changes his son’s diapers. Not really ever thinking about the procedure is one reason it just goes on and on.
