Earlier tonight we had our five-year old niece over and all she wanted to do was play games. So, I used my creative brainpower and asked her if she wanted to draw what she would look like if she was a robot. She didn’t know what a robot was, so I explained that a robot is often made of metal and can do special things, like make shoes. I also explained that in movies, sometimes robots are really large and they stomp on buildings.

So, this is the drawing she came up with. It’s quite clever. It’s more of a monster, though. I had at one point asked her to draw her scariest monster, so I think this is a mix of the two. This one eats people’s old shoes with some sort of vacuum tongue thing. The little object on the right is an old shoe. It has some sort of sonar on it’s antenna’s that allow it to find old shoes
