Overheard Conversations--Our Future Leader

Yeah, kid, I'm Voltron...
A 5 or 6 year old boy, watching some young lions (5 months) play around with each other in the Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with wonder in his voice:
Daddy, are those robots?
You see, where you or I would see the majesty of nature, the noble beauty of the King of the Beasts, this lad saw robots. Lion Robots. Lion robots fighting each other in a glass enclosure for our amusement.

We have found our future leader. I will follow this child and his holy visions anywhere he might lead. Seriously.
