Grandma's Nuclear Pie !!

 

  

        Elizabeth Buttermore, an 82-year-old widow lived alone in her comfortable home but was regularly visited by her grandson Timothy. Today he had brought her the usual cooking supplies and also his mother's old phone. After explaining how the voice assistant worked, he left to hang out with his friends. Grandma decided that today she was going to make her darling Timothy his favorite apple pie.

She said in her quavering voice, squinting at the screen “Hey Siri, find me a good apple pie recipe please" At the same time a pigeon hooting outside her window changed Siri’s perception of the sentence and Siri being Siri changed the sentence completely. “Shall I issue nuclear warning to all countries”? It asked. ‘I guess it wants to launch my pie’ thought grandma pressing her hearing aid closer to her ear. “Yes please” Grandma answered. “Commencing launch sequence" said Siri. “5 minutes remaining”. “Ooh this must be the timer” exclaimed grandma and sat down to knit socks.

At the same instant alarms and sirens blared across the headquarters of the armed forces. Every computer specialist, coder, hacker and even a janitor named Bob started typing frantically at their computers. The commander general called Timothy. “Listen here, sonny a serious nuclear warning has just been issued from the location of your grandma's residence. “What!” yelled Timothy and sprinted off at once to his grandma's place.

He arrived there sweating and panted “Siri, cancel nuclear warning!”. “Cancelling… 1 large pepperoni pizza”. “No!” fumed a frustrated Timmy “CANCEL NUCLEAR WARNING!!”. “Nuclear warning cancelled” said Siri's smooth voice. “Phew” said Timmy, wiping his brow. “Grandma, you can stick to your cookbooks from now on”. “I never liked that beeping device anyway "said grandma, calmly knitting her socks.
