It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.


Isn't it always the way? You come home, you've lost your voice, you have to get the dinner on and feed the tired an cranky masses, and there's a bloody robot in the kitchen!

Not only that, but the robot seems to have developed a thing for the rubbish bin. It's very creepy.

Jim Klenke said…
Cute, did he say take me to your leader?
KL said…
Cuuutteeee :-). Is that the handiwork of Jen? Seems like that.

Great photo and post.

Came here by way of Lisa in NZ.

Maybe the robot was built with a random garbage disposal part or two....

Great colors.
Kitty said…
haha, how cute?!
how do you not laugh out loud all day at these tykes?

Henry's costume is just in time for Purim today!
I didn't see any robot kids on the streets of Jerusalem today. Henry and Jen could come here and give lessons in creativity.

Of course! Robot are in my kitchen ALL the time.

Oh, right! I'm lying. But I would LOVE to have such a robot in my kitchen. And that's the truth.

Wonderful costume!

Ash, he has his moments.
Kris McCracken said…
Kylie, very rarely he does.
Kris McCracken said…
Jim, no, but he did demand grapes...
Kris McCracken said…
KL, Jen and Henry made it together.
Kris McCracken said…
John, it could well explain the attraction.
Kris McCracken said…
Kitty, I often laugh at them. Not so much at 5 am though.
Kris McCracken said…
Henry would like purim, I think.
Kris McCracken said…
Jackie, it was easier than when he was nude, put the box (minus eye holes) and ran straight into the wall!

Three times.
Kris McCracken said…
Megan, I never even knew that robots had toes.
Kris McCracken said…
Babzy, sometimes he appears to malfunction though. Especially around dinner time.
Kris McCracken said…
YEGTG, well, the robot is beginning to have some use in the kitchen. Just the other day he helped me make damper. And he always helps mix the pancake batter.
USelaine said…
He clearly is blessed to be growing up in the Jen and Kris household.
Kunterbunt said…
How nice that those robots have naked little feet ,-))) How very much human.

Elaine, he might tell you different. Just this morning, he felt it supremely unfair that I'd stop him from drawing on the table (in a literal sense).
Kris McCracken said…
April, maybe he's a cyborg?
The Clever Pup said…
that's a great costume. You should have this image put on a t-shirt
Kris McCracken said…
The Clever Pup, and sell it on e-bay?

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral

Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced. A passion that goeth before a sprawl.

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo. I wasn’t happy with the way that the sun had washed out some of the colours in the original, so had a bit of a fiddle because I like the look on Henry’s face, and didn’t want to pass on posting it. I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
