There may be an excellent reason to buy your family an Amazon Echo Show 5 Kids this season. And it all comes down to silliness.<\/p>\n

For decades, it was a time-honored tradition, driving cross country with only Mad Libs (opens in new tab)<\/span> to keep a family laughing and sane. Before digital, we had notepads full of silly story frameworks. They were really just skeletons and the note-taker would call out prompts from the page that asked for a person, place, thing, animal, feeling, etc. The goal was to generate the most absurd story possible, which the designated transcriber would then read to the hysterical wails of the family.<\/p>\n
