Cricket and Tilly were beside the table, as Bill bought a weird thing.
As the two looked at it, Bill smiled.

"So, ya like it?" Bill asked.

"Like it? I don't even know what it is." Cricket replied.

"Is it one of those Potato Peelers?" Tilly asked.

"Nope! It's an Andy-Bot 2000! I saw it was on sale, so I took it." Bill replied.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

"A What?" Cricket asked.

"It's a robot! Go on, ask it something." Bill said.

"Okay!" Cricket replied.

Cricket then turned back over to the robot, and spoke up.

"Hey! Andy-Bot thing! Can kids go to space, yet?" Cricket asked, with the light on the robot turning on.

The boys light then turned from red to green, and spoke in a robotic voice.

"No, Children can not go to space, yet." The Robot Replied.

After the bot spoke, the two kids gasped in amazement.

"Whoa!" The Two Exclaimed.

Bill chuckled.

"Yep, it will answer ANY question you want." Bill replied.

And just like that, the kids were interested in the weird bot, continuing to ask lots of questions.

"What's 2+2?" Cricket asked.
"Four." The Robot Replied.

"How long do dogs live?" Tilly Asked.
"Small dog breeds live longer than big dog breeds, who live for about 12-years-old." The Bot Replied.

"Can you brush your teeth with Soda?" Cricket asked.
"No, Soda is bad for you're teeth." The Robot Replied.

"Is it evil to pour the milk before the cereal?" Tilly asked.
Some people believe it is uncomfortable to pour milk before the cereal." The Bot Replied.

"Is it possible to sleep with your eyes open?" Cricket asked.
"Yes." The Robot Replied.

Bill chuckled, seeing his two kids have fun with the new contraption.
Suddenly, Tilly's next question made Bill frown.

"Oh, oh, I got one! Where do babies come from?" Tilly asked.
"After two of the different gender fall in love, the male-!" The bot started, but was stopped by Bill.

"Whoa! Okay! How about a different question, Sweetie?" Bill asked.

"Okay! Hey Andy-Bot, What is puberty, and why do girls get more moody when they're older?" Tilly asked.
"After a girl has reached a certain age, they will begin to men-!" The Robot continued, but was again, stopped by Bill.

"Okay! I think it's bedtime!" Bill said.

"Aww, What? It's so early!" Cricket said, frowning.

"No, it's not!" Bill replied.

"...it's 2 in the Afternoon." Cricket said.

"BED! NOW!" Bill exclaimed.
