They call it a Roomba

Mom and Dad bought this new thing. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner, but it’s small, black, and round. It’s like a small, black, round squirrel, only it’s not furry. They set it on the kitchen floor and then it started running around in circles, bumping into the walls and cabinets. Just like a dumb squirrel. Maybe they thought Elwood and I would attack it. Sure, it got our attention. We sniffed it. But we weren’t scared. Honestly, I’d rather be outside, or eating treats.
