Joan looked away from the ginger girl and to the ginger boy (were they related?). She watched, still holding out the whiteboard and pen, as the boy took something small out of his pocket. He sat it on the ground. Joan watched as the boy's lips moved, and then a word appeared on the screen. 'Hello'. It was simple enough, but Joan was intrigued. Hastily putting the board and pen into the girls hands, she crouched down to be closer to the robot. She looked back up at the boy, and then at the robot again. She signed 'hello' down at the robot. The screen went blank for a second, then 'hello' appeared on the screen again. One more test. She signed 'my name is Joan' at the robot. Even though she had to spell her name out, when she was finished, the words were on the screen. A laugh escaped her, bright and happy as she scooped the robot up. She stood back up, holding the robot in her open palms. She turned it around so that the screen was visible to Rocco and Nanya, a million dollar smile stretching across her face.
