Alexa…
Kiddo and I spent some time looking up the locations of the AppleTV screen savers. The one we were looking at was from Dubai. When hubby got home he asked Alexa to play a song, to which Kiddo asked Alexa to play a different song. The Alexa war escalated to the point that random songs were requested. Here’s where it gets interesting. Kiddo asks Alexa to play Dubai.
