You want to add an additional member to your family. You don’t like children. You don’t want to deal with animals. You tried robots and even a Plant Friend but none of them hit the spot.

One day you walked into a nursery and you saw these little cacti. When they all saw you they all squirmed and wiggled. You saw one little cactus jump for attention. Who knew a cactus could jump. The other cacti only wiggled when other people walked by but not that cactus. That jumping cactus only jumped when it saw you. You take an interest in it so you buy it.
