She said the youngster's mistake highlighted the stark difference between her generation and that of her pupils - Gen Alpha
It is not unheard of for a child to accidentally call their teacher 'mum' or 'dad' but one educator has revealed the unusual name one pupil unexpectedly called her by mistake. People were left gobsmacked after the teacher took to TikTok to share the hilarious yet somewhat concerning story.
People believe the bizarre exchange proves younger generations are changing rapidly with new technology - and this theory quickly gained a lot of support after parents provided their own personal examples in the comments. The elementary school teacher, from the US, explained she had been referred to as 'mum' or 'mama' in the past but the latest mistake definitely stood out from the rest, the Mirror reports.
Viewers were left baffled as they questioned how the child could possibly confuse their teacher with Amazon's Alexa, as many assumed the youngster was referencing the popular virtual assistant technology. While some people found the story amusing, others said the kid's mix up was worrying. One person replied: "That's kinda sad". Another one wrote: "Genuinely scary".
