orangerfulMe, making tea in the kitchen after dinner.
Me: "Alexa, set a timer for 5 minutes."
Tim comes upstairs with his dinner plate after reading on his phone.
Alexa: "Five minutes, starting now"
Tim: "I was just reading an article saying it was unethical to have sex right now with the coronavirus"
Me: "Is it okay to masturbate?"
Alexa: "Hm, I don't know that one."
Me: *dies laughing*
For clarity, I did turn on the "follow up" mode for Alexa where she listens for a few more seconds after talking in case you had additional things to say. So she wasn't eavesdropping so much as just doing her job.
Still, I cried real tears of laughter.
