On the way to visit my best friend, K, for a much needed talk/play-date I missed the turn onto I-75 and decided to take the road that runs parallel to the highway instead of turning around to get back on. My girls, who can now recognize land marks and know that we always take the highway to get to K's house, were taken aback by my choice to take the unfamiliar road.
"Mom, I think you need to turn around. This is not the right way."
"Mom, it's taking a long time to get to K's house. I think you should go back" They cried, every two minutes or so.
"Do you really think I don't know where I'm going?" I told them.
Obviously they thought I had no sense of direction whatsoever.
As I was turned onto K's street they grew quiet and when I turned into her driveway I said "Do you think I need to turn around now"
"No, I think this looks like her house" They said soberly.
"So, do you know think I know where I am going?"
"Yes"
Lessons learned:
Don't drive on unfamiliar roads to familiar places unless you are prepared to defend your choice of course with your children.
Mom always knows where she is going
