new family



The other day in the car the kids were being noisy and driving me crazy. Luckily, I spotted this place. What luck! It looked promising..


"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.
