During one of our road
trips we all got to meet the other woman in my husband’s life - his GPS. He has
to travel to a lot of different job sites during the day hence she appeared to
help him out. Apparently he can program it in all sorts of languages and
accents but they are all “women". This is probably old news to the technically
savvy but what do I know?
I travel the same circle everyday so have no
need of such devices.
Mr. Bus programmed the
device, clicked her into place and we were off.
In about 2.5 seconds the questions started.
“Where is that voice
coming from?”
“Who is that talking?’
“Is she telling Daddy what
to do?”
“Isn't that Mommy's job?”
“Is "she"
putting Mommy out of work?”
“Moooooom....are you out
of work?”
“Was she ever in work?”
“We are her work.”
“Is Daddy paying
her?”
“I think he owes me
money!”
“Why is dad giving YOU
money?”
“I don't think he's paid
Mom in years.”
This all took place in the
.4 miles it took to get to the end of our road! The rest of the trip went the
same.
“He didn't turn!”
“She said to turn!”
“He's not listening!”
“He doesn't always listen
to Mom.”
“TURN!!!”
“...are we lost?”
“..Are we there yet?”
“DID YOU EVER TURN?”
“I'm hungry.”
Seriously - I am glad I
don't need a GPS - I somehow sense it would not make my life any easier!
I am very grateful God saw
fit to give both of us a good sense of humor.
