exciting this happened here well I'm

just glad she's back and she can add

anything she wants

if you squeeze me hard I'll make a pot

of

this is fantastic it just proves that if

a robot hangs around a human little girl

like Harriet it'll pick up the

characteristics of that human little

girl how can you say human and Harriet

in the same breath I think it's gonna be

real interesting to observe this for a

day or two okay Vicki go to your room
