I met a robot in my neighborhood.
He’s a nightlight for sale at my friend Stephanie’s shop, Stoopher & Boots.
Every time I have seen him, I couldn’t look away. (We don’t get a lot of his kind on the Upper West Side.)
Then I started hearing a sound when I was near him…a soft chant. “Milo. Milo.” (He’s a friend of mine — the baby boy variety – who has a particular interest in the ‘bots.)
He needed that robot nightlight. So after a quick consultation with his parental units, it was soon on its way to Milo’s robot-themed bedroom in sunny Los Angeles.
Look at it — sitting in his room, like it was made for the place.
It’s almost an exact match to the robot in the print on the wall!
How a’bot that?
Lady luck
When it comes to bugs, I earned my wimp card years ago.
I’m not a fan.
But the ladybug? That’s one very different beetle. It’s cute, it eats a lot of harmful insects and it’s lucky. (That’s a scientific fact.)
Look at that face.
And you might stop reading right now. Because the rest of this post on ladybugs will freak you out. It did me.
Hungarian Artist Gabor Fulop also likes ladybugs. A lot. So much so that he created 20,000 and hand-painted them.
