Context for folks who don’t know us: My wife is Japanese and bilingual; the family rule is “Japanese with Mommy and English with Daddy” to maximize for the kids’ English skill, and this entire conversation was in English, so it’s mostly about interesting mental models.

I will be so, so amused if my daughter grows up saying “Oh I am going to English the heck out of this web application.”

Ha! Our 4yo just decided tonight that *he* was Alexa, so we had to tell him things like, “Enzo, set a 5 minute timer…” When we eventually told him it was bath time he hit us with, “I’m sorry… I didn’t get that.”

Kids... My 3 y.o. has almost daily interactions with Alexa and they are always amusing. Also, anytime there is a YouTube video not in English she says "It's Spanish!" :-)
