    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.

      True, there’s that :)

      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.
