This is better with kids. My niece figured it out and often spoke to Alexa:
Niece: Alexa, add farts and pepperoni pizzas to the grocery list.
Niece: Alexa, play baby shark on the bedroom speaker.
Niece: Alexa, remind me to kiss my butt in 10 minutes. (Leaves room, her mom was there a few minutes later, in time for the reminder.)
Etc…
When you leave an Alexa enabled echo sitting around 4 to 8 year olds, you get some interesting requests… and entertainment.
And of course there are those times that Alexa completely misunderstands. Neither my wife nor I know how it happened, but some months back we discovered “blow job” on our list.
“Alexa, add bananas”
“Alexa, 3 minutes”
“Alexa, add 30 seconds”
I think that’s just about everything I’ve ever used it for.

True, there’s that :)
