Alexa

Brian bought what I am calling a robot on Amazon Prime Day. It's this speaker looking thing that answers to the name "Alexa." 

Do we need a robot? No. Does the robot help our lives in any way? No. But Brian likes technology. So we have a robot. 

Timothy asked her to tell knock knock jokes today. She told us about 4-5. Then he told her to put "chocolate Cocoa Puffs" on our shopping list. Check. Then he told her to play Katy Perry music. Then he switched it to Blake Shelton. Then it was "music from the 1980s". Then Christmas music. He asked for summer music but she did not understand that request. 

So yeah. A robot. On the kitchen counter. That tells jokes and plays music. Hurray!
