me: you're doing a good job, Roomba *as it toodles around the office*
Spouse: you do not need to encourage the Roomba.
me: Roomba needs pats and love!
Spouse: THAT IS NOT HOW A ROOMBA WORKS.
@green I'm with you on this one! Roombas are good little bots deserving of our adoration and respect. ♥️
me: *quietly* good job, Roomba *pats*
