HUMOR
A Letter from the UFO Commander Who Wants Their Robot Vacuum Cleaners Back
by Debbie L. Miller
Attention Earthlings:
Our robot vacuum cousins have been stolen from our planet and have resurfaced in homes across your puny planet’s sector called “America.”
We want them back.
I am the commander of the UFO that landed in your backyard last night and attempted to make contact with you. Unfortunately, your dog creature prevented me from carrying out my mission.
Listen up, humans. We come in peace; this is not an act of aggression. We seek only to right a wrong.
Your politicians fomented a revolt in our galaxy and after causing disorder and chaos, convinced the robots they were being exploited and thus captured them and brought them to Earth against their will, where you are their new exploiters. Our robots did not rebel and leave in anger. There was no dissension or dissatisfaction on their part.
In the spring of your Earth year 2020 while monitoring your planet, we noticed increased activity in all things “cleaning.” Many of you messy humanoids developed a desire to have spotlessly clean abodes at a rate never before seen in the history of your pitiful planet.
