Humans Vs Robots

“Ugh, why do I have to clean the car?” Henry complained.  “Because you made your friend do it two weeks ago.”  Dad explained.  “Daaaad…..”  

“NOW HENRY!”

“Fine…”

As Henry filled the pail, he fetched the hose and headed outside.  The car was really muddy from the road trip Henry and his dad had two days ago.  Once the pail was filled with soapy water, he carried it outside on the driveway making a trail of water leading from the faucet to outside.  

“You’re cleaning that up Henry.” Henry looked behind him and said, “Oh poop.”

Henry’s dog went barking out to Henry,  “Be quiet Charlie, don't you have a bed to poop on?”  2 minutes later…  “Charlie that was a rhetorical question.”  Henry whined while he was cleaning his dog's droppings off the bed.  

When Henry was heading to the car he saw his science project just sitting in the corner looking like her date ditched her for a buy 5 for $2 pizza sale.  When Henry looked at it his project he had an idea.  “Dad?  Can I skip doing the car and make a robot that can clean a car for my homework?”  “It’s a win, win you have the car clean and I get my science project done for the summer holiday.”  Henry asked.

“Alright son, but the car must be done by tomorrow. *Whow, ouch, what did I step on?  CHARLIE*

As Henry ran to his project he jumped on the couch, did a summersault and landed perfectly on the ground, or in reality… Charlie's poop pad.  

“Why today?”  Henry sighed.  

After taking a shower he ran and jumped on the couch and did another somersault and landed on….  No I’m just kidding. He landed perfectly on the ground with sore ankles.  

Henry approached his project and started working on this car cleaning robot all day until he was so tired he slept in Charlie's dog bed.  

In the morning Henry woke up with a surprise.  The robot was perfectly made in the middle of the living room.  “Hey, dad who made this robot?”  

“Me son.  I mean cmon I felt like doing something other than repainting the bathroom.”  

Henry was so amazed, without having breakfast he rushed outside with his dog and tested the robot on the car.  Henry put the robot in place and controlled it with a remote that his dad made as well with the bot.  

Everything was going so fine until…  Henry was nudged by his dog and pushed the wrong button,  and in a big label saying, “END WORLD, DO NOT PRESS.”  

Henry saw what he pushed and he was furious of what was going to happen but excited at the same time.  It took a few seconds to make the command sink into its brain, but wait do robots have brains?

The robot turned around and started to walk around the neighbourhood.  Henry just stopped and stared.  But he didn’t have to wait for long beforeafter the robot broke…  Mrs Potts garden!  Mrs Potts was the old, hag and the meanest neighbour in the world that Henry HATED so much he would trade her for a big, deafening barn.  

Henry ran to his neighbour until he heard…  “HENRY, THE NEXT TIME YOUR LITTLE ROBOT TRIES TO BREAK MY PROPERTY I WILL RIP YOU APART!”  

The robot went sliding out of Mrs Potts house and headed to the Community Park.  Henry tried to keep up with the robot as he panted, “Why did, *pant*  dad,  *pant*  make a button to destroy the world  *pant*?”  

The robot made his way in the park and started making all the children cry, trip up people jogging by and eating ice-cream that he didn’t pay for.  “HEY, THE NEXT TIME YOU EAT ICE-CREAM PAY FOR IT!”  Henry tried to use his remote to stop it but nothing happened.

The robot ran out of the park wearing a baby’s bonnet.  Henry followed the uncontrollable bot.  The robot flew down the street until he reached the city.  As the sun was going down Henry didn’t give up and kept on going.   Meanwhile at home dad was cleaning the faucet pipe.  “Hm… I swear I put my slippers somewhere?”  “CHARLIE!  THOSE ARE MY SLIPPERS NOT YOUR PLACE TO DO YOUR BUSINESS.”

“Why today?”  Henry complained.

The robot was causing so much chaos that the city was burning down, people were screaming and the robot psychopath was headed for the white house.  Henry was regretting everything he had done yesterday morning.  Gradually Henry was getting closer to the bot and almost had lost his breathe.  He ran and jumped on a ice-cream truck and did a summersault off of it landing in a trampoline and on the grass.  Henry thanked his gym teacher after that.  

As the bot went in the elevator Henry went to the stairs and ran up.  When he reached the top where the president was he saw the robot quietly going up to the president and got out a…..   Butterknife?  The robot was using a butter knife to kill the president.  As Henry was getting tired he tried to shout out to the most important person in their country.  When Henry tried to shout he gave out a quiet squeal.  As the robot was starting to swing the knife something unexpected happened… the batteries died.  The bot was inches away from hurting the president and the robot just dropped and shut off.  

As Henry went back home he was feeling very exhausted and guilty.  He hadn’t even touched the car and Henry’s dad must have been irritated.  When Henry saw the car clean he closed his eyes and opened the door.  While he closed his eyes he heard his father’s voice,

“Henry!”  

Henry got really scared and he kept his eyes shut.

“It’s alright son but next time clean the car.”  Henry’s dad said.  “We can recreate the robot right now if you want I already finished everything I have to do.”

Henry then felt less guilty and more of delightful.  

An hour later…  

“Nice job son!”  Henry’s dad said.  “Do you want to get some ice-cream?”

“Okay!” Henry accepted.     

When Henry entered the car in the front seat next to his dad they started the car, and backed out from the driveway.  As dad was backing up, the car made a unpromising sound.  It sounded like a gun had reloaded and broke down as the guy got… um let's stay PG rated for this writing.

“Oh dang it….” Henry’s dad said.  “You want to make a robot that makes ice cream?”

“ Dad?  I think today was enough chaos.”
