Don't ever admit to your kid that you made a wrong turn or chose the wrong lane or blame traffic for making him miss gymnastics after picking him up too late from Robot camp. He might just demand you take him back to the orphanage.

Poor stupid dad...

On the way home from the last day of Robot Camp, Ben has me dig into his goodie bag and before you know it we're talking about leg monitors and Lindsay Lohan and all sorts of shenanigans.

This is the last in a series recorded during drive-time back from my kid's science/robot camp during the week of July 4. Though it was recorded earlier in the week, I saved it for last because it was the only one topic Ben actually requested. 

I had hoped it could be a meaningful and educational conversation about poop, but soon realized he just wanted me to record some terrible song he made up about a chubby poopy cat saying hello. Not only was I duped, but I haven't been able to get this little ditty out of my head for over a week now.

So now I share it with you...

This week, Ben runs the interview outside Starbucks as host of his own game show called "Have you ever been bitten by..." or "Name That Bug Bite?"

Konversations With My Kid 009 "Ch - Ch - Ch - Changes"

It's been awhile since the boy and I last recorded a KWMK, but some things never change. Sure, maybe his obsession with old west guns like the 1851 Colt Navy or his cowboy name for himself (Walker France!)are new to you, but to me and the wife, this konversation is as old as 'dem hills.

Murphy's Fall is a dramedy about the indomitable power of Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, will! (Although, thanks to Murphy's Law, that's not actually Murphy's Law.)

While rollerblading along Venice beach on his 38th birthday, construction risk manager and resident curmudgeon Gary Murphy, cursed by a decades-long rut of utter mundanity, falls (literally and figuratively) for a young, insanely beautiful TV news reporter, setting in motion a cataclysmic series of events that will forever alter the lives of not only Gary and his quirky friends and co-workers from BIG (underwriter to LA's Subway to the Sea), but also the entire populace of the City of Angels.

The radio play consists of five scenes pulled directly from the feature screenplay, which has since been adapted into a half-hour TV pilot script.

In this episode of KWMK, my 5-1/2 year old walks like an old man on his way to school. Not hunched over or with a cane or anything that dramatic, just slooooow. Maybe because he knows the BMOC always needs to be the last one to arrive at the meeting. Or in this case, Spanish class. (Same diff when you're a pre-schooler.)

Does LA traffic got you down on the way to your newly graduated pre-schooler's Robot Camp? Then maybe it's time you stop texting and start recording another "konversation" with your kid. As far as I can tell, it's not against the law...yet.

Happy Fourth of July!
