Technology is now deeply embedded in our daily routines, with many people relying on it to complete their tasks. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more integrated into our lives, some individuals even form emotional bonds with their devices. In a heartwarming example, a woman and her son recently celebrated their Roomba's birthday. Yes, you read that right. The mom, who goes by @brokefanbitch on TikTok, shared how her son developed an emotional connection with their robotic vacuum. Their lighthearted celebration of the Roomba’s first birthday quickly captured attention on social media.

In the viral TikTok video, the mom and her son are seen crumbling cake in front of their iRobot Roomba. As the vacuum sat motionless on the floor, the duo playfully explained how they prepared a birthday snack for their mechanical friend. "Lmao, I never thought I’d have a birthday party for a Roomba," the mom wrote in the caption. A screenshot from the Roomba's app revealed it was purchased exactly one year ago on that day.

“It’s RoombaShoomba’s birthday! Treat it to new filters, brushes, or other accessories with 10% off!” read the notification that popped up on the device's app. It was the child who first noticed the birthday notification and shared it with his mom. “My son noticed today was Roomba’s birthday and wanted to give it cake and sing a song,” the text overlay on the 54-second video read. The child couldn't contain his excitement when his mother announced their plans to celebrate the machine’s anniversary.

The mother and her son brought what appeared to be a pound cake to celebrate. “So, we got him some cake,” she said, holding the dessert in front of the camera. The idea to crumble and serve it to the machine came from her son. As the mother held the piece with both hands, the boy enthusiastically said, “Crumble it up!” She decided to oblige and, with the camera still aimed at the Roomba, began breaking apart portions of the cake to drop on the floor. The child’s gleeful giggles could be heard as he watched his mother prepare the Roomba’s birthday snack. Afterward, the boy pressed the machine’s start button, and within seconds, it made the cake crumbs disappear. The duo also sang a cheerful "Happy Birthday" to the machine.
