"What a great idea" I thought to myself. You just drop your family off, then pick up a different one. Ever since I was young, I always hoped that when I grew up that one of my kids could be T.V.'s "small wonder". She's a miracle, and I'll grant you, she'll enchant you at first sight. (that's from the theme song, as if you didn't know) Well-mannered, conservatively dressed, and.... (spoiler alert coming if you haven't seen the show)
SHE'S A ROBOT!!!!!!
She cleans the house faster than a speeding bullet and is more powerful than a locomotive. After doing all the chores, she walks into the closet and powers down. Anyway, it was all going to be swell in my mind. So I dropped the kids off in one door, and screamed "GIVE ME THE SMALL WONDER ROBOT THAT I SAW ON TV!!!
(If you were wondering about the process, it's a pretty loosely run organization. You just drop off your family at the pick-up area, no questions asked or paperwork; then you scream what you want into the air and run around to the pick up area on the other side of the building.)
I then happily ran out the door and around the building to the pickup area when much to my chagrin they handed me this:
Needless to say, I was quite disappointed. I think they could sense it so they also threw in this.
I was satisfied then and lived happily ever after. I'm sure my kids are happy too.
OH! So that explains the robot that's been making our dinner. I was wondering how that robo-stir got here.
ReplyDeleteJared, my takeaway here is that there's a place in town that gives away free ice cream sandwiches. I MUST GO TO THIS PLACE.
ReplyDeleteKasie, You're welcome. I know you never dreamed a husband could be this wonderful, but you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteBrock, What a surprise! Welcome to my land of nonsensical boobery where I update once a year. Remember, the precious minutes you waste reading my blog are minutes you'll never be able to get back, no matter how much you wish you could.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that I could get a robot child too, but maybe once I go to my parents and see the robo-stir in action it will abate my disappointment.
ReplyDeleteListen, Kaylie. I don't want to get your hopes up, but if I forget your birthday (like I have for the past how ever many years old you are) then you may just find yourself on the receiving end of a new robostir, just like your mom.
ReplyDeleteYay--only been a YEAR but you are back!! I have never seen a Family Exchange place here. Apparently Utahns like their kids better than you CA people. Not going to lie, somedays I wish we had one here too. You should move here and start one up.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is so weird, but some random stranger must have sensed we needed a new addition to our family and sent us this very product (the Robostir, not the small wonder). I can't tell you how much it changes your life when you realize you will never have to stir again... The robostir will save me minutes every day (or actually every Sunday because that's the only day I cook anything that has to be stirred). There's no telling what I could do with those saved minutes. Maybe I'll write a book! I just wish I knew who had sent me the robostir so I could thank them...
