was just told that my son failed his hearing test, at school
My son is 8, and he hates those hearing tests, lol. We know what to watch out for though, because there's 2 generations of deaf folks behind him.
It's all about what they want to do that day, no?
I'm not worried about it as much as they seem to be. -
About to head to a meeting.

I'm not worried about it as much as they seem to be.Yeah, I wouldn't be either. However, teaching him some sign language (if you haven't already) is a great idea.
We did that with our son (some basic stuff like bathroom and other things) because he has a speech issue (that he seems to finally be growing out of a bit!).

I have tried, and my son says he wants to learn but doesnt sit still enough to learn.
SO i just use it sometimes randomly and he loves it. -
Just heard my wife microwave via Alexa for the first time. That's pretty cool.

Yeah, if that is large enough to cook the food it's super easy.

Alexa, Cook my popcorn.
Expected: 5 minutes later bells from Heaven ring as a bright light shines down on my microwave when the popcorn is ready.
Reality: The fire alarm goes off due to the plume of smoke pouring from my microwave. Alexa cooks my popcorn for 6 minutes instead of 3.

@dafyre At that point you'd have to buy a new house. That burnt popcorn smell is there forever!

Thankfully, mine hasn't done that yet. It does popcorn better than I can!
