Whose Children Are These?

 

A man ordered for a voice automated robot car

 that does anything he tells it to do correctly 

without any error.

He got the car and became very proud of 

what the car could do without mistakes.

One day, he was home and his wife told him 

to tell the car to go and pick the children from 

school as she was very tired.

The man agreed and said to the car,

“Car! Go and bring my children from school.”

The car went and didn’t return in time as 

expected, they knew something must be 

wrong.

Several hours later and no car, the man 

became apprehensive.

He dressed up and got ready to lodge a report 

at the police station.

As he and his wife stepped outside they saw 

the car coming with an overload of children.

The car parked right in front of them and said,

“These are your children, sir.”

In the car, were their Landlady’s two 

daughters, their choir mistress’ two sons, his 

wife’s best friend’s daughter, their pastor’s son

 and their neighbor's two sons.

The wife who was angry shouted at her 

husband,

“Don’t tell me all these are your children!”

The man asked her calmly,

“Can you first tell me why our children are not 

in the car?”
