Jeffrey Quote: Robot Dog

While delivering Eleanor to dance class today . . .

JEFF: So Mom, which would you prefer, a real dog or a robot dog?

ME: Well . . .  a robot dog wouldn’t cuddle up warm with you.

JEFF: But a robot dog would obey over 100 commands!

ME: True.  It also woudln’t poop on the floor, chew up toys, or run away.

JEFF: Yes!

ME: But a robot dog would never look you in the eye to say “I love you.”

JEFF: Hmm . . .

ME: It’s a tough decision.  Which would you choose?

[beat]

JEFF: I think I would just like a cat.
