Why do you think Donnie has never called Splinter father?

Throughout the series, majority of the turtles have called Splinter by some paternal nickname. Leo and Raph have called Splinter father off and on throughout the series.

Mikey manages to choke out "Papa" when Splinter is murdered.

Donnie is the only turtle who has never called Splinter by any sort of paternal name or title ever. It's always been respectful, Sensei, Master, or Master Splinter.

I think the reason Donnie never called Splinter father or dad or whatever because he feels he needs a teacher figure more then he needs a parental figure.

What do you guys think?
