Moon Base Bob

When Bob’s mother tasks him with cleaning up their messy house he hits upon a way to cut the job in half, by using the household replicator to make a mechanical copy of himself. Unfortunately, Bob’s robot doppelgänger is a bit too much like the original; a sub-par helper who’s lazy, easily distracted and prone to pushing buttons, of which there are many in the space-aged house. This habit leads to trouble when he inadvertently programs the replicator to make 748,134 copies of a broken vase, just before he and Bob set out for the grocery store to buy eggs - the last item on their list of chores. Can Bob put the house back in order before his mother gets home from work? And just how long can you hide a robot in your bedroom closet?

My Why:

When I was a young child I would build toboggan runs in the deep snow down the cliff behind my house. The challenge, of course, was to get the sled from the the top to the bottom with plenty of thrills, but not too many spills. Now I draw stories - and it all comes from the same place - the habits I learned never left me.
