If I had an Amazon Echo or a Google Home, I just know for a fact that I would ask it ridiculous questions. In the commercials, there is always a family using Alexa/Google Home to come closer as a family, but we all know that's not exactly how it would go.

I'd definitely ask it things I search on Google on a daily basis and random questions that pop into my head while I'm in the shower or laying around watching Netflix. I know I'm not the only one. Here are some questions I'd probably ask my Alexa/Google Home if I had one:

1. "Play that song by that Scottish band that goes da da da da da da da da. You know what I'm talking about,"

I doubt she'd catch that I was asking to listen to 500 Miles, but it's worth a shot.

2. "Can cats eat cucumbers?"

I'm pretty sure I'd ask a million variations of this question in my time of owning an Alexa/Google Home because my cats always try to eat my food.

3. "How long do green beans last?"

This question would definitely come while I was looking through my fridge.

4. "How many oz are in a shot glass?"

But seriously, why do alcohol recipes come by ounces or any other unit than "a shot"? Who takes the time to measure out 1.4 oz of Blue Curacao for their margarita? Serial killers.

5. "What does the year on someone's Facebook profile mean?"

Has anyone noticed that? Can anyone answer this?

6. "Why do cats wiggle their butts before they jump?"

This question would probably come from my boyfriend who thinks cats are a mystery.

7. "What should I make for dinner?"

I hate when I can't decide what I have a taste for. It's better if someone else tells me what to make sometimes. I'd probably follow that up with: "How do I substitute for minced garlic?"

8. "Tell me a joke."

9. "What's the weather going to be today?"

Okay, but this one is actually relevant and would help while getting ready in the morning.

10. "When will my package be here?"

I should have UPS tracking bookmarked on my laptop because I swear I always have some kind of package being shipped.

11. "Should I go out tonight?"

Sometimes you need some convincing and/or reassurance that you've made the right choice (to stay in of course).

12. "Are we friends?"

Don't they get to know you and collect data on you? They have to know you best, right?

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
