Rosary-Inspired Question

Every time I say the Joyful Mysteries, and I get to the Finding in the Temple, I think, "Um, Mary? Joseph? Why are you so confused? Do you not remember the events surrounding the birth of your son? Angelic visitors, virgin birth, all those things? Remember Simeon at the Temple at the Presentation? How come you're acting all of a sudden like this is just your average first-century Palestinian kid who's run off to get into mischief?"

Not to be direspectful or anything, but I'm confused by their confusion.
