ECHO, Echo, echo

And there it was, on Christmas day, a brand new Amazon Echo.  We plugged it in and took it in turns asking it questions and giving it commands.  Its answers were truly amazing.  There was almost nothing it didn't know.

Then Logan piped up.

"Alexa, how are babies made?" he asked, in a strong, clear voice.

An enormous silence hung over the room.  Even the Echo paused in consideration.  We held our collective breath.

"Um, er, that's a question for Daddy or Mommy," it stammered.

Good job Alexa.  Seriously Logan, that's the first question you ask?

Messed Up Stuff

Friday - there was no school for Ashley and the boys.  I got an early start at work while everyone else slept in.  Pretty soon, I received a text from my wife.

"Logan woke up very upset.  Apparently, Justin & I died," she wrote, "you married Miss Humphreys (Logan's teacher), and, "'A whole bunch of other messed up stuff happened.'"

I'll say.

Cuffed

Notice the stuffed animal on the chair...in handcuffs.  It was in trouble for being naughty.
