~Murphy’s Law that should have been

A month ago, I sent these pictures of Stephen’s Transformers puppets to kids TV channel Pop. At the end of the two Transformers cartoons for each day, they showcase a drawing or two. Being typical proud parents, Marv and I thought Stephen’s were way better.

I heard nothing back. Then we went on vacation last week and didn’t watch any of the shows. Last night, just a couple hours after we got back, I recorded the second of the Transformers episodes of the day. We watched it this morning.

Lo and behold, there were Stephen’s puppets! Rorry, the cartoon host, featured Stephen’s first ahead of two other submissions and said, “Is that the coolest or what?” We couldn’t believe our luck.

  1. We don’t watch or record every single Transformers show so we were lucky to have seen Stephen’s feature especially since Pop TV hadn’t emailed to let us know when his puppets would be on the air.
  2. We were all watching the show together at the same time when normally, Marv would be at work and I would be on the computer. If Stephen were watching alone, he might not have noticed his puppets were on TV.
  3. I had recorded the show!

But, the luck ran out. After rewinding and watching it three times while squealing and exclaiming with excitement, I went to save the program for good and…

HIT THE DELETE BUTTON!

I could have died. I felt so bad. Marv was shocked at the “madness.” The only person who didn’t seem too bothered was Stephen. He said, “It’s ok, Mama. I’m glad you deleted it. The show was making me sick.”

Huh?!

We’re recording tonight’s episodes hoping they’ll show Stephen’s again since they previously showed the same kid’s artwork for days before switching to new ones. And I’ve emailed Pop asking for a copy of the show. Cross your fingers for us!!

*I may send some of his drawings to the new Transformers Comic magazine.
