what the fuuuuuck

[rs-jm]

this is a short horror story

[skeleton-of-fun]

Actually it makes a lot of sense, and tbh isn't that weird? It's a behavior that needs correcting, to be sure, but isn't that strange that he learned to do that.

The toddler has probably repeatedly witnessed the adults say "Alexa, (thing)", and noticed that the request almost always gets honored. In his mind, he's connecting the phrase with a desired task being completed, so he's trying to imitate the adults around him in order to complete his desired task.

He doesn't know any better because he's a toddler, and probably doesn't recognize "alexa" as being a name. He just assumes that's what you say when you want something, because that's what the adults around him have taught him. He's mimicking. And it's a perfectly normal and an expected and healthy behavior.

If you don't like it, then you should probably blame the startling amount of people that use things like Alexa. Like literally this is happening because of the adults, and has nothing to do with the toddler's. What they're doing is completely normal child behavior.

To his toddler mind “Alexa” is a supereffective version of “Please”

[tikkety-tok]

Not gonna lye, it was exactly the outcome I hoped for.

[undercoverwizardninjaturtle]

Seizure First Aid. 

Learn it. Share it. Know it. Use it. 

[king-in-yellow]

100% correct medical information on tumblr for once; also consider calling 911 if you don’t know how often the person has seizures and ESPECIALLY if the seizure has lasted 5 minutes or more (which is why the watch is critical)

[lukesvalentine-blog1]

I have epilepsy so making sure the word is out on how to help people who do have seizures means a lot to me.

"Orive! Orive!" Jason yelled, running inside her room. "Orive! Oriiiive!"

[youcouldsayimcold]

"Yo, small infant." She threw up a peace sign, sitting crossed-legged on the bed.

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

Jason kept running towards her and, as expected, tripped on his feet and faceplanted on the bed frame.

[youcouldsayimcold]

"You okay there?" Olivia asked softly, swinging her legs over the side to face Jason better.

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

Seemingly unbothered, the kid got up and started excitedly bouncing in front of her.

"Orive! Orive!"

[youcouldsayimcold]

"Yes?" She hummed.

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

"I have a thing for you!" He bounced, doing grabby hands.

[youcouldsayimcold]

"Really?" She offered Jasom her hands.

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

Grabbing it, he pulled her behind him as he ran out of the room.

[youcouldsayimcold]

Olivia followed. It was a bit awkward but alas. She was being dragged by a small child, what was to be expected?

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

"Caution the head!" He warned her, entering a normal sized kitchen she most likely wouldn't even had hit her head on the ceiling had she been standing properly.

[youcouldsayimcold]

"Will do, thanks." Olivia nodded.

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

He stopped in front of the freezer and let go of her hand, bouncing.

[youcouldsayimcold]

Olivia crouched down, "what is it?"

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

He opened it (or at least tried to), grinning.

[youcouldsayimcold]

She watched quietly.

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

There were ice cubes. Jason looked really proud.

[youcouldsayimcold]

"Woah!" She gasped.

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

"It's like you!"

[youcouldsayimcold]

"It is." She nods.

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

Jason grabbed an ice cube, dropped it down her shirt and ran away giggling.

[youcouldsayimcold]

Olivia gasped loudly despite honestly not being that bothered, "I've been betrayed!"

[stop-calling-me-a-viking]

He laughed harder.
