When Worlds Collide: Child Robot
Fresh kill from Japan: “Child robot makes debut”
Robot: Are you my mother or my father?
Poor guy: Uh, I’m a dude.
Robot: Oh. I am not taught to see gender. Is that hair on your head? Can I touch it?
Poor guy: Yes, this is hair. And no, please don’t touch it. I spent a long time on it this morning.
Robot: Do I look like a real person?
Poor guy: Uh–
Robot: I have flexible joints and soft skin, do you?
Poor guy: Yeah, though I have a really bad case of eczema right now.
Robot: I also have 200 tactile sensors. Wanna see? Let me shake your hand.
Poor guy: Uh, okay. (beat) Owwwwww! That was my junk!
Robot: Junk? I do not compute. I am sorry. Have I offended you?
Poor guy: I’ll be…okay.
Robot: Oh no! I HAVE offended you! I am filled with great shame.
Poor guy: Just take the picture, people!
Robot: Human beings are so complicated. I am suffering from sensory overload. Does anyone have Valium? Mommy’s little helper?
