Kevin: Well I had a lot of fun being able to do anything I wanted but then those robbers came and tried to break into my house.

Q: You certainly handled them pretty well I understand you built some traps for them?

Kevin: Yeah I made a lot of traps to try and stop them from getting to me or taking anything. Like a heated door handle some paint cans that hit them when they came up the stairs, and some others things that made them slip and fall.

Q: Those are some pretty smart inventions for a kid your age where did you get the ideas for them?

Kevin: Mostly cartoons my favorite to watch is The Loony Toons with Road Runner and The Coyote.
