Alexa was speaking in tongues last night.

We were messing with our dog, the mighty Zeppelin last night.

"Alexa, what does a dog sound like?" And it would play a dog barking. (Zeppy doing the head tilt)

"Alexa, bark like a dog." Different bark. (Zeppy doing the head tilt)

"Alexa, what does a wolf sound like?" Wolf howl (Zeppy doing the head tilt)

"Alexa, what does a fox sound like?" Yabba el don booga my gip. (Me and Mrs. Glam doing the head tilt)

I never know what to expect.

Me: "Alexa. Play Classic Rock."

Alexa:"Should I add a station for Classic Country to your Pandora account?"

Me: NO!

But it is kinda cool to just say what you wanna hear and have it play.

I think some of the fox sounds she makes are take offs of the song, "What Does The Fox Say?"

I asked her 3 times and the 3rd time she replied, "Everyone always asks what does the fox say but no one ever asks how the fox feels".
