Danger, Will Robinson, Danger




I used to watch 'Lost in Space' as a child.  I loved the robot whose name was just The Robot.  He would warn young Will Robinson when the boy was unaware of an impending threat.  He somehow could sense danger when young Will could not. 

Years later, I became The Robot for my children.  I warn them of imminent danger even when they don’t want me to. It’s what moms do. ' I want to go to a boy/girl overnight party' - – Danger, Will Robinson, Danger.  'I have decided to wake up early every morning to do my homework instead of doing it after school' – Danger, Will Robinson, Danger.   'My friend and I are driving in heavy snow but don’t worry, we are following a snow plow' (that one came with a cell phone picture –eek!) – Danger, Will Robinson, Danger

Come to think of it.  Will Robinson did not always listen to The Robot either.
