A DAD was left stunned when he discovered that his five-year-old son had used Alexa to order a hot tub and a host of other goodies.
Tucker Bohman had no idea that he hadn't disabled the voice purchases features on his Amazon device, until he got a notification of all the things that had been ordered.
"My five year old ordered almost $1,000 worth of toys on Amazon this morning," he said in his TikTok video.
"He even ordered a $500 hot tub."
Tucker was then able to go back and listen to his son placing the orders, admitting it was "quite entertaining going through the 2+ hours of dialogue he had with Alexa".
The little boy kicked off by asking Alexa to "get me a monster truck that jumps 23 inches off ground", before instructing the device to "add 45 kid spidey walkie talkies to my cart".

"Alexa, get me a rocket ship that goes five trillion miles per hour and five trillion feet off the ground," he then said.
Before concluding: "Alexa, add a loopy loop race car track remote control cars."
