I use to think that I could hold my own when it came to directions. Give me a map and some landmarks and I could get there. I found out today that I am mistaken. This weekend I went to Kansas City to visit and meet up with my best friends from high school and I got lost...very lost. I went from the Kansas side to the Missouri side and then back. I even had Nancy the Navigator trying to help me out, but it turns out that she sucks and is unable to give helpful and timely directions. So there I was in the middle of the city, wanting to lock my doors. I was far from Seward, Nebraska where I sometimes leave my keys in the ignition. So as I speed dial my friend, pull out a United States map, and try to drown out Nancy's "Make a U-turn if possible," I lock the doors.
Nancy pulls through in the end and tells me to "Turn Right" and there it was my destination. I learned that I take the familiarity of the Seward streets for granted and that if I am ever in the car with you, I should not be in charge of the directions.
