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.
