Summary

This week comedian Mike Lawrence joins Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids, BUT…Wait, what was I talking about? Oh right, why is parenting killing more of our brain cells than all of the collective drugs we've (allegedly) ever taken? Kurt laments that parenting has him so fried that he no longer can tell the difference between Among Us, Last Of Us, This Is Us, or a Thesaurus. But Mike Lawrence feels that parenting hasn’t made him dumber, but it has changed him in other ways. Like after trying to simultaneously finish dinner with one hand while a baby falls asleep in the other arm, telling jokes on stage doesn’t seem as important anymore. Maybe re-prioritizing what matters is a form of forgetting the old, so consider all of us parents great big dummies.

And remember, you can call our hotline and leave us questions, comments, or your own funny, totally anonymous “Circle Time” parenting story at 424-570-KIDS or you can email us at [email protected]. Just don't forget to start your story with, “I love my kid, but…” and maybe we'll use yours on air!
