Dear friend,
It's like our world got turned upside-down and inside-out at the same time! Remember we used to put our pocket money in piggy banks and wallets stuffed with paper money? Those physical dollars have jumped inside our computers and phones! They've become invisible digital coins that zoom through the air like magic butterflies. Our money has become like the money we used to use in our video games! - except now grown-ups use it for real!
That's not it, while our money decided to stay behind the screens of our phones, the computer people were crawling OUT of our screens! The AI friends who used to live trapped behind glass are now having real bodies and walking around in our world! It's exactly like in my favorite movie when the cartoon characters step out of the TV and start dancing in the living room!
Isn't that just the silliest, most wonderful mix-up ever? The things we could touch (like quarters and dollar bills) turned into things we can only see (digital coins). And the things we could only see (like computer helpers) turned into things we can touch (like real robots)!
Love and gigantic rainbow robot hugs,
Sam
