 FACT: Rickys father tells him at the motel that he was conceived  when he was only 17, putting Rickys father 18 years older, at most,  than Ricky. Later that day (in the kitchen), Rickys father tells  Ricky that he is 55 years old, which would make Ricky either 37 or  38. When Ricky gets his drivers license, it shows his DOB is 7/16/71  and the date issued is 7/16/02, which would make him only 31.
