The Irony of a Human Talent Show

A garbage dump is a great place for imaginative children
About a week ago I got a very unexpected call. It was a man about a horse. He wanted the horse’s head back. Yes! The Godfather! Oh robot, that call paled in comparison to the next on the line. It was a human female, and she had some shocking news for me. Suspense must be filling your office air right now. She said that OUR child was performing in a talent show later that evening, and she wanted to know if I would go or not. She said it was the least that I could do. Our child? The least I could do? No, I’m afraid the least I could do is just what I’ve been doing since I made the mistake of having sex with you ten-odd years ago: Nothing. "Well, I could ask for child support, and I never have," she said. From a robot? You must be sipping syrup, I told her. I agreed to go, so long as she promised to never contact me again. She agreed.

Right now you’re starting to question the plausibility of this whole story. Don’t. Just groove out with it like a tasty Color Me Badd song. Groove robot, groove. And let it be a melodic lesson to you that drinking twenty cans of gasoline, while invigorating, can also be very dangerous.

So I show up at the talent show in Suburb-town, Indiana, where the robo-child lives. Suburb-town is nice, full of bushes, trees, and hidden terror. What? That’s right, hidden fucking terror. The auditorium was packed full of white humans, with a few black humans peppering the pun-filled seats. They all stared at me, and why not? I am one million feet tall. I sat down as best I could, crushing seven humans in the process.

Can you find what's wrong with this picture? (Answer: They're not dead)
I wondered what my robo-child looked like. Was he cool? What hobbies did he have? Did he have a robo-penis or a human skin flap? I sat through ten excruciating performances, including a greasy, socially inept crosseye who drooled out an “I Still Have My Pride” ballad to the forced delight of the audience.

And then he took the stage, my robo-son, under the human name Robert Dellensworth. He stood about six feet tall, towering over the sitar he was about to play “Hey Now–You’re an All-Star” by Smash Mouth on. I could tell that doctors had done their best to fully cover his metal with human skin, but to no avail. He was hideous, and I heard some little girls snickering at him as he began to play.

Their snickering quickly turned to cries for help, as I used them as human darts to dispose of my son Robert. I could stand the agony no longer. Some heroic humans tried to stop me but failed as miserably as a group of Navajo trying to stop drinking. Snap! I dashed out of the auditorium, into the Suburb-town night, and out of my robo-son’s life (and death) forever. I can’t even believe I just told all of you this. I’m so embarrassed.
