what the fuuuuuck
this is a short horror story
Please make sure to reblog this with the explanation you guys:
The toddler doesn’t know Alexa is a name; as far as they’re concerned it’s a word that makes things happen. If the kid was saying “please play baby shark” it would mean literally the same thing to them because they don’t really understand language yet.
The toddler is mimicking adult behavior because they have seen adults say things that start with “Alexa” and have learned that starting a request with “Alexa” makes it more likely to be fulfilled. This kid has learned something about how their world works purely through observation! This isn’t a bad thing! It’s just been misapplied and it’s up to the parents to correct their speech as they grow enough to understand the difference.
- That is absolutely an accurate assessment about what is technically happening from a language development perspective
- That the child is holding his mother’s face and speaking into her eyes the magic command that makes things happen does not make this any less of a horror story
