I don't know if I find it condescending or comforting but it is odd. He is my father's age and it makes me feel some kind of paternal connection with him. Does your therapist chuckle or laugh at the way you word or say things?
If it bothers you, I would talk about it with your T. My former T would laugh sometimes when she found something amusing. I don't laugh much in therapy or real life so sometimes I was puzzled by it, but I knew by her overall attitude toward me that she was caring about me so I just would brush it off.
