1.11.20 - Kid snippets: Jane wants to know why Alexa is sleeping

About 20 minutes ago Jane asked Alexa (Amazon Echo) some question and Alexa responded at length at a (sort of) high volume and this response really really bothered Jane because she said it was too loud. I then muted Alexa so she won't respond to anyone to prevent this problem for now. Since then Jane has been having an ongoing conversation with me that has gone approximately like this:

Jane: Mama?
Me: Yeah?
Jane: Mamaaa?
Me: Yeah?
Jane: Mama why Awexa so woud [loud]?
Me: Because you asked her a question.
Jane: Mama why Awexa so woud?
Me: Because you talked to her.
Jane: Why so woud?
Me: ...Because you talked to her!
Jane: Mama?
Me: Yeah?
Jane: Mamaaaaa!
Me: YEAH?
Jane: Why Awexa no talking?
Me: Because she's asleep.
Jane: Buy whyyyy Mama?
Me: She's asleep, she's tired.
Jane: Oh a-kay.
Jane: Mama?
Me: Yeah?
Jane: Why Awexa sleeping?
Me: Jane stop asking me about Awexa.
Jane: But Mama, why Awexa sleeping?
Me: Because she's tired.
Jane: Oh a-kay. Mama?
Me: WHAT?
Jane: Why Awexa sleeping?
Me: I don't know, babe.
Jane: Why Awexa sleeping?
Me: I don't know.
Jane: Mama?
Me: ....
Jane: Mammaaaaaaaa?
Me: What?
Jane: Why Awexa sleeping?
Me: mmm.
Jane: Mama, whyyyyyy?
Me: Because.
Jane: Oh a-kay. Mama, Awexa vewy woud!
Me: Yup.
Jane: Mama?
[And repeat.]

Cuddling on the couch as she fully wakes up from a nap.
