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?
