I feel like in the absence of further information, the house cleaner/caregiver is Rosie from The Jetsons, and the sex robot is Jude Law from AI.
Yup, sign me up.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Kate, I think a zoo membership is a great thing for kids who are new walkers
Oh, good call. She's not walking yet, but I don't think it's too far off. (She's just discovered she can stand on her own, and she LOVES it. Which also means that I found her this morning standing on top of her little stool, holding onto the wall. I see some tumbles in our future...)
And I just realized that I don't actually have to make the decision by the time her birthday rolls around, because it's not as though she'll have any idea about her birthday presents anyway. So I can wait a few months longer, until whenever she seems ready. But we'll still go next weekend to see what she thinks of it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I was just telling shrift last night that I was ready for the days when robots handle customer service. They can't be worse at it than the humans.

Yay zoo!
I t heart Gigolo Joe for that little "Why do you do that?" "It's what I do" conversation. I never actually thought about the whole robot sex question that is obviously part of his job. Huh.

Because books.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My folks are here on their annual migration North.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Niece is three and has loved the zoo for at least the past year.

Maybe I'll demand a robot the next time Macy's makes me return three shirts to three different counters based on the brand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, and if I cite SPN as my favourite show, what of Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Community? I'm not good at that sort of decision making.
But I am good at eating fries, so let me apply myself thusly.

Can you say it's your favorite show to draw?
