The Kids Are Watching is a journal of media commentary and other writing all tied—sometimes rather loosely—to fatherhood. Lots of nostalgia, jawing and hyperbole.
I am Josh Tyson, husband, father and author. I have a radiant wife named Nicole and two stellar sons, Elias and Arius. My word collage has appeared in The New York Times, FLAUNT, Big Brother, Chicago Reader, Stop Smiling, and elsewhere. I also make music as Old Gay and as a member of New Age Dad.
One day very soon, this will all be obsolete.


Liked your article – lost my dad a few years ago and it resonated. Also, bees do crap honey
