My Mom Is a Robot

This morning I overheard a little boy, about 3 1/2 years old, describe his mother to another child:

"My mom is no ordinary mom. She's actually a robot. I figured it out."

Sadly for me, the other child didn't seem terribly interested in the boy's mother's robotic tendencies and the conversation quickly shifted back to normal preschool concerns, like blocks and puzzles. But I have questions for this kid. How exactly did you discover hat your mom is a robot? Is she truly a robot, or is she actually some kind of cyborg? Are there other Mommy-Bots? What about Daddy-Bots and Baby-Bots? Has she been programmed to follow the Three Laws, or do we need to worry about an uprising?
