While working from home the other day I noticed the back shell was watching me.
“I know, I know. I’ll get back to you soon.”
It seemed to say, “Great. When?”
“Soon, I promise. I’ve redesigned your light kit so it looks like a CRT m, I’ve got a new soldering iron, one of those alligator clip things for holding wires, nine volt battery clips. I even have extra flattened cardboard boxes to make a sibling for you.”
I could tell the half finished model was not impressed. Mostly because there was no reply.
“FINE! I’ll work on you this weekend. ARE YOU HAPPY?!”
“I want a mate.”
“What?”
“I want a mate. You made me this way. Make me a mate that I can relate too.”
“Dude...this isn’t Frankenstein.”
It harrumph at me then replied, “Just make sure you’re fingers free of epoxy, ok? I’ve still got that spot on my back.”
“Sure buddy, I can do that.”
“Oh, and one more thing.”
“Yeah?”
“TELL YOUR FUCKING CAT TO STOP DRAGGING MY PARTS TO YOUR BEDROOM!!”
