My 6-year-old daughter Ava is the featured guest this week. She is the first non-parent to be a guest on the show, but she still offers valuable and amusing insight from a kid's perspective.

We talk about what's so great about being six-years-old and what she thinks are the best lunch foods. We also talk about what the tooth fairy looks like, what she does with all of the teeth she collects and why she comes at night.

Beau Coffron, also known as Lunchbox Dad, is the featured guest this week. He’s appeared on Good Morning America, The Steve Harvey Show and several other top shows. He’s also appeared on ABCNews.com, Yahoo.com and he’s even been in People Magazine, all because he makes the most creative lunches for his kids that you just have to see.

I realize this is a podcast, so you will need to go to his website, LunchboxDad.com to see exactly what I’m talking about, but I think you’ll enjoy our conversation about what made him want to turn something most parents think of as a chore into an art, what foods work the best for his designs and how he went from being a dad making cool lunches for his kids to doing it on the national news.

It's ParentNormal Mailbag day. Last Tuesday I shared what was scary good in the ParentNormal News and on Thursday I interviewed Jill Smokler, the creator of the hugely popular parenting website Scary Mommy. So now, I'm answering your scary good questions.

ParentNormal Questions Answered in this Episode:

• I always liked scary stories when I was a kid, but I’m afraid to tell my kids scary stories that might give them nightmares. Do you have a scary story that might find the right balance for kids under 5?
• I don’t understand why my kids are afraid of the dark. Why can’t I explain to them there’s nothing to be afraid of?
• My son asked me if Frankenstein was real and if so who was his daddy? What should I tell my son?
• What are the 10 scariest experiences every parent will face?

Scary Mommy Jill Smokler is the featured guest this week. She is the creator of the very popular parenting website Scary Mommy. Jill is also the New York Times bestselling author of Confessions of A Scary Mommy and Motherhood Comes Naturally (And Other Vicious Lies). Her honest take on parenting has appeared in countless publications and on television programs including The Today Show, Good Morning America, Nightline and Fox and Friends. And now she can add The ParentNormal Comedy Podcast to her resume.

The theme this week has been Scary Good, so Jill is a perfect fit.

The theme for this week is Scary Good, which means the ParentNormal News will feature what's scary good about parenting. In this episode, I also preview Thursday's upcoming interview with Scary Mommy creator Jill Smokler.

Here is this week's ParentNormal Mailbag. Since the theme is Time After Time, I answer questions related to time.

ParentNormal Questions Answered in this Episode:

• Now that I’m a parent, will I ever get any time off?
• My toddler always wakes me up really early, before it’s appropriate to get up out of bed. How do you know what time you should get out of bed?
• I always have trouble getting my kids to school on time or anywhere for that matter. Do you have any suggestions?
• I feel like I waste so much time during the day waiting for my toddler to finish going potty. Do you have any suggestions for making the most of that time?

Hillary Frank, host of The Longest Shortest Time podcast, is the featured guest this week. Her work has aired on a variety of public radio programs including  This American Life, Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Studio 360, Marketplace, and Weekend America.

I am thrilled to have Hillary on my show because her show helped pave the way for family podcasts like mine. The Longest Shortest Time is the top ranked Kids and Family podcast in all of iTunes, and it has just become a part of the Earwolf Network.

The theme for the three episodes being released this week is Time After Time. So if you're lost, you can look, and you will find… well, I don’t know what you’ll find but I’m sure if you’re a parent it’s going to be sticky, gross and old…Time After Time.

Alright, has everyone who is going to get the Cyndi Lauper reference shown their True Colors? Okay, good. Now let’s see what’s in the ParentNormal News about Time.
