Twelve-year-old Shawn liked to play jokes. He did not always do his homework on time. His bedroom was a mess! Pat, on the other hand, was always like an angel. “What a wonderful baby!” his mother would say. Pat did not think much about how great he was until one day when he was watching Mostly Martin. In the show, a new boy had moved to a town. “He is strange,” said Martin. “Everyone thinks he is perfect. He must be a robot!” “Am I also a robot?” Pat asked. “Of course not,” said Shawn as he went outside. Pat thought hard. Robots were machines but they looked like people. How would you know that you were one? Pat decided to ask his parents. He asked at dinner.
