Drabble by Kevin Fagan for January 11, 2023

Poor little robot vacuum.

By Honeybunch’s expression, I’d say it was no accident.

Yes, she did?

He does know that he is not talking to a person, doesn’t he?

Ok

Wife did that with her cat recently, accidentally shut her in the pantry. The cat started knocking stuff over until she went to investigate. The cat was sullen for a bit, until she got her extra treat for the day anyway.

It was either her or Norm…

You need to vacuum the closets once in a while.

We gave our autovac to the Humane Society thrift store, the dogs hated it.

And now if they want it to clean properly again they must invoke a magic spell to sooth its inner workings.

They could sacrifice a dust bunny to it.

Robots are starting to acquire human traits. This Roomba just came out of the closet.

Wouldn’t that noise bother her?

It went “Zip” when it moved

And “Bop” when it stopped

And “Whirrr” when it stood still!

I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will!

It was Norm.

My cat used to do that.
