A man purchased a voice-activated robot car that could flawlessly follow any command he gave. Delighted by the car’s accuracy, he proudly showed off its capabilities.
One day, his wife, feeling exhausted, asked him to send the car to pick up the kids from school. Agreeing, he spoke to the car, “Car, go pick up my children from school.”
The car set off, but when it didn’t return as expected, they began to worry. Hours passed with still no sign of the car, and the man grew increasingly anxious.
Finally, as he and his wife stepped outside to report it to the police, they saw the car approaching—with an unexpected load of children. It parked right in front of them and announced, “These are your children, sir.”
Inside the car were their landlady’s two daughters, the choir director’s two sons, the wife’s best friend’s daughter, the pastor’s son, and two boys from next door.
The wife, furious, yelled at her husband, “Don’t tell me all of these are your children!”
The man, remaining calm, replied, “Before that, could you explain why our actual children aren’t in the car?”
