Toddler Calls Mom Alexa

My toddler almost never addresses me as "mom" or "mommy" He only does when he's annoyed or angry. I know he can, he just doesn't. So this morning he was following me around calling me "Ah dex bah?" Over and over and over. Holding my face, mouth in front of my eyes, absolutely addressing me. Finally he said "Ah dex bah? Paaaaay bay-ee shak." And I realized what was going on. My mom got a Fire TV cube for Christmas. My kid is calling me Alexa and demanding I play Baby Shark. This is his first complete verbal request for something, and he called me Alexa.

A toddler follows his mother around, holding her face and repeatedly saying what sounds like “Alexa” and “Baby Shark.” The joke is that his first complete verbal request is directed at his mother as though she were Alexa, because he wants the Fire TV Cube to play Baby Shark. It is shared as a funny parenting reaction about children learning technology-related words before calling their parents “mom.”
