A radio drama in two acts

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.
