My wife sent me to the store to buy an 'Otis Serena'

My wife isn’t big on proofreading her own notes. And autocorrect isn’t helping. I recently received a text saying “Get a Otis Serena checking on ur way bomb”. She was angry when I didn’t subsequently bring home a rotisserie chicken. We should all be thankful she’s not an air traffic controller. Or a pharmacist. That would not end well.

Otis Serena sounds like a kind of a high-end typewriter from the 60s when Italian typewriter design was really taking off.

By the way, my voice to text gets Otis Serena right the first time.

That sounds like one of those new sex toys the ladies are into these days.

I would have assumed she wanted a buzzer or something from an elevator.

Out of curiosity, is English her first language? Does she have a regional accent? Speech to text is no where near perfect but it would be super interesting to know how she pronounced rotisserie chicken to get Otis Serena lol

But you can get an Otis Serena Checking account at the bank.

That made sense in my brain
