So basically, it was a kid's book where this kid in a futuristic world had a robotic babysitter, who was too strict about the rules. I think the kid then messed with the robot's wiring to make them fun, but they became obsessed with having fun, to the point where it was utter chaos and the house was being destroyed. The kid then had to fix the problem, and the aesop was that things are only fun if there's some rules to balance things out, or something.
