ACT I
(Interior of family car, night. En route to martial arts class.)
ME: Rock and roll for the road, boys?
LITTLE GUY AND BINO: Sure.
(I turn on the radio, already dialed in to the modern rock station. "Meant to Live" by Switchfoot is playing, halfway through.)
BINO: Dad, this is not rock.
ME: What? Yes it is.
BINO: Nope.
ME: Fine.
(I switch to the dinosaur rock station, just as "Wayward Son" by Kansas begins.)
ME: Is this rock and roll?
BINO: (with unshakable conviction) Yes.
ACT II
(Interior of family car, later the same night, after martial arts.)
(I turn the radio on, the dinosaur rock station is playing commercials, so I switch back to the modern rock. "Hey Ya" by Outkast is playing, halfway through.)
ME: Is this rock?
BINO: No.
ME: What is it, then?
BINO: (same unshakable conviction as earlier) Funk.
ME: Do ... do you just put all music in the five categories from Trolls World Tour?
BINO: Pretty much.
ME: (under my breath) He's not wrong, though.
CURTAIN
