Alexa.

So we have an Amazon Echo device which is kind of like Siri meets Cortana without requiring a phone or computer. You talk to the device by saying “Alexa” and she perks up and answers most basic questions (I hope it improves with time, there’s not much I can get right from it right now…)

Sarah likes to ask Alexa questions. For example, “What is mommy’s name?” Alexa responds with “This device only has one profile: Tamar’s.” Sarah often gets super excited that it knows my name, but as far as she’s concerned, my name is actually Mommy, not Tamar. When I remind her of this, she responds with, “But it knows your password! Tamar!”

Yeah, no.

Over Rosh Hashana, I was in shul with Sarah and talking to our neighbor who was six years old when Sarah was born. I told her this fact, and Sarah, in listening to the conversation, says, “I’ll turn six when I get there!”

That one is true.
