Introducing Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 77

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 77.

I know when Robot No. 77 has been editing the grocery list—there’s always butter, chocolate chips, and oats added. It’s really hard to not pick the items up though, Robot No. 77 is a very sweet robot, who has a very sweet tooth! 

Plus, they always help make the cookies, and it’s a lot of fun making cookies for our very full household! There’s always lots of giggles and lots of music. We end up having big conversations about what the best cookie flavour is, and who makes the best peanut butter, and whether fruit belongs in cookies or not.

We hadn’t fully explained the tradition of leaving cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve to Robot No. 77 though. They ended up eating Santa’s cookies because they cannot resist a good cookie right out of the oven, especially when there’s a cold glass of milk to accompany it!

And that’s why Robot No. 77 wants to be a Do-Gooder for World Central Kitchen, so everyone has cookies when they need them the most.

Supermurgitroid Robot No. 77 is available on Threadless Artist Shop ! Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.

Take care and thank you for being here,

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 15

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 15.

I saw Robot No. 15 fumbling with a paper map and mumbling to themselves. I asked if I could help, but they didn’t hear me because they were grumbling under their breath about coordinates and distances. I managed to get their attention and ask again.

They took a deep breath and asked me where my heart was. I pointed to my chest, but frowned because I gathered we weren’t talking about the same thing. They shook their head no, and told me that they were told “Home is where the heart is!” and couldn’t find it on the map. They were looking for our address, but there were no icons in the legend for hearts. They asked, “Does that mean this isn’t a home?”

I replied, “Of course it’s a home! There’s no icon on the map, because the map can’t tell what we have built here. We all live here, we all love one another, and we’re a team. This is one bustling home that is built on love, so it’s definitely where the heart is.”

I also tried to explain that the saying is usually used when people are homesick, or moving a lot. That a home might not be where the roof over your head is, but instead where your family is, or the place of your fondest memories.

Robot No. 15 took a deep breath, and felt relieved. They do feel that our house is a home, and that they would likely think of this idiom if they were to travel away from it. They have such a big heart for a robot with no actual heart.
