    I think it’s kinda sweet for a kid. I mean what’s cooler than a robot when you’re 7? that’s pretty much the pinnicle of “cool” at that age, or at least it was for me. So to compare a crush to a robot for a kid is similar to shakespear comparing thier lover to “a summer’s day” or Selena Gomez comparing thier lover to “a love song”

        Look, I’m a grown-ass adult and have been for awhile. If someone said that to me now I’d start shopping for an engagement ring.

          I love you so much I think you’re way cooler than a robot!

          Now put a ring on it. And I want a diamond.

        So, less a “kid” and more “almost adult”. Yeah, I can see that being taken as very weird or creepy

      I don’t think we’re far off from 7 year olds being entirely unimpressed robots. They’ll just think it’s a dumb vacuum
