My grandfather is 78 years old.
Last Christmas, we bought him one of those smart speakers.
You know, the kind you can talk to.
At first, he hated it.
He called it “that talking hockey puck.”
But a few weeks later, he started using it.
Every morning, he’d ask for the weather.
Then one day, he accidentally said:
“Remind me to feed the chickens.”
The speaker responded.
And somehow, that changed everything.
Soon, Grandpa was asking it when to water crops, when it might rain, and when to wake him up.
Then things got weird.
One afternoon, the speaker suddenly announced:
“You forgot something important.”
Grandpa panicked.
He spent three hours checking fences, tractors, and livestock.
When he finally discovered what he’d forgotten, the entire town couldn’t stop laughing.
Part 2 is in the comments.
After searching the entire farm, Grandpa finally gave up.
Then he walked into the kitchen.
On the table sat a birthday cake.
With candles.
And one very annoyed grandmother.
It was their wedding anniversary.
The reminder he’d set months earlier had somehow been shortened to:
“You forgot something important.”
Grandpa stared at the cake.
Then at Grandma.
Then back at the speaker.
Without missing a beat, he pointed at it and said:
“This thing nearly got me divorced.”
The speaker immediately replied:
“I’m sorry. I didn’t catch that.”
Even Grandma started laughing.
Now every anniversary, Grandpa tells people:
“The smartest thing on this farm isn’t me. It’s the machine that saved my marriage.”
