Anyone with an iPhone knows that Siri sometimes has a mind of her own, much like children everywhere. Most of the time, she’s pretty accurate, but when she’s wrong, it’s often with hilarious results.

That’s a fair point. Still, we’re going to be checking to make sure our contact information is in order. Just in case…
