How in the world do I define ‘MOTHER?’

mother walking with child on rural path

A 24 hour non-stop robot

Nagging function is inbuilt in her

But no it is not a mistake made by the divine coder

Rather a seat belt it binding me on the vehicle to my goal

Congratulatory words are rare while criticism vocabulary is profound

Does she take only negatives of pictures?

Well says the divine coder with a superior air

It is to keep your mountainous pride in check

Oh and what about the comparison with peers making algorithm

Why on earth is that in place?

To shake you out of fantasies and gear you up for the race

Dismisses the divine coder with a cheerful voice

What about the ‘pushing me into every single activity’ function?

Now that is surely a mistake!

Think about the experiences and knowledge you have gained

And you will surely eat your words

Retorts the creator with a confident voice

What about the ‘not spending time with me’ and ‘miserly’ and ‘not making good food’ mode?

Now that is a major catch!

When you’re a mother working for your kids comfort

I hope your opinion doesn’t change, challenged the coder!

At last I found a leaky point in your code!!!

What is it? Enquired the coder

She is always full of stress and worry and sometimes bursts into tears

Unnecessary anxiety plagues her self

How can this robot then be a perfect one?

Is that all, said the creator with a gleeful smirk

Well, you idiot, can’t you see

You have gifted her all this worry

This worry is fuelled by her love for you!

This love requires no fuel, no current, and no energy

The most durable substance I have ever made

It will stand the test of time!

And the coder won the debate with wonderful ease.
