Hey Siri

I give to you a story in eleventy-one words...


Tess greeted Susan and suggested, “Let’s set up your device.”

After a few false starts with passwords, Tess asked, “Do you use Siri?”

“Yes, though it’s a real pain.”

Tess chuckled. “First, say ‘Hey Siri.’ Then, make a request.” Another shopper interrupted, and Tess moved away from the table.

“Hey Siri.” No response. “Hey Siri!” Still nothing. Susan tried at least ten more times, to no avail.

When Tess returned, Susan grumbled, “It isn’t working,”

“Your Siri must be cranky. I have an idea.”

“Please, I’ll try anything.”

“Say ‘Hey Siri, I’m sorry.’”

“Why?”

“Just try it.”

Susan spoke reluctantly, “Hey Siri, I’m sorry.”

Siri replied. “For what? Please be specific.”
