My grandma called me at midnight and whispered,
“Your grandpa is CHEATING!”
I nearly fell out of bed.
“What?! Grandma, are you sure?”
“YES!” she said. “I heard him talking to another woman!”
I asked, “What’s her name?”
Grandma lowered her voice.
“Alexa.”
I paused.
“Grandma… Alexa?”
“Yes! He keeps saying, ‘Alexa, turn off the lights!’ ‘Alexa, play some music!’ ‘Alexa, what time is it?’”
I tried not to laugh.
“Grandma… that’s not another woman. That’s a smart speaker.”
She went completely silent.
Then she asked,
“Then WHY DOES SHE ANSWER HIM EVERY SINGLE TIME?!”
I had no answer.
So I hung up.
Somewhere in the house, Alexa was probably updating her relationship status.
