I happened to be in Chicago when this aired during mid-morning news programming and it was a refreshing break from the madness of the day. Two parents, one slightly more neurotic than the other, fret over their daughter?s suspected plagiarism. My favorite line is when the kid says, ?Why are you talking about me in the 3rd person?? The writing is sharp and fast, the performances dead on. Though it?s fiction, it has the texture of real life, so one feels like a fly on the wall of their kitchen. Made me chuckle with recognition and I don?t even have kids. Great to have a little theatre pop out of the radio. I'll bet lots of listeners would get a kick out of work of this ilk.
