A Conversation with Semi-Robot

Ben: Where do you live, Semi-Robot?

SR: I live in Sallyland, in a kingdom. I am the Princess Robot of Sallyland.

Be: Why are you called Semi-Robot? Are you only partly a robot?

SR: Yes, because if I was all the way a robot I wouldn't be a princess. Do you know how old I am?

Ben: How old?

SR: Forty-two and a quarter. I think that's right... forty-two and three months. Three months ago I was really forty-two. Instead of what is a princess? Guess!

Ben: I don't know.

SR: My buttons. I don't have any buttons. And I'm never turned off. That's the princess part. The robot part is, I have a metal brain.

Ben: Really.

SR: I can make anything better. Like, if you're having a fight, I can stop the fight. I talk, and that doesn't count as a fight. So then we're talking about that instead of doing the fight.

Ben: Wow!

SR: Because I have a magic rock inside of my heart. And whenever it shines, it means that. And then it tells the brain to do that, and the brain tells me.

Ben: So does Noah have a rock like that?

SR: No, Noah doesn't have a rock like that. I bought it in a store in Bolorol Land. Noah can't go to Bolorol Land. Well, he couldn't at that time. Bolorol Land was too far from Gukgukland. Noah lived in Gukgukland before he was in your wife's tummy.
