Small things that make you happy, part 2

Remember when I was so happy that I needed my phone to enter our community? But hey at least I found a way to make it better by using, of all things, Siri.

Well, about a month ago I figured it was time to change the phrase from "let me in" to something new, and accidentally discovered that you can set more than one shortcut for the same action!!! 🤯 Tech has come so far (???).

So I added "I am home" and "The eagle has landed" to the repertoire.
Funnily enough, it was the former that gave me trouble. The first couple times I tried it I said "I'm home", and Siri was not having it. It had to be specifically "I am home", because that's how I typed it.

I remembered to share this follow up just now because I was thinking of new phrases to open the thing. Simply so I can amuse the kiddo some more.
