John Barby is determined to prevent his son from being sent to a "home." By which I guess they mean an institution of some sort? His son apparently must be kept away from kittens as he can possibly turn violent. John takes great pains to keep his son hidden as he tries to get away by hitching a ride, and getting a hotel room. But the police are looking for him.
I think the twist in this story was fairly obvious from the beginning. I mostly found it interesting to listen to because I was so eager to confirm my suspicions. (Also the old time Pepsi commercial is precious. "Be sociable! Serve Pepsi!") I was a bit confused in the end about just what was wrong with the son, and if the death of the wife had any extra meaning, but I suppose this was a clever enough story to entertain for half an hour.
