so when it comes down to it, they are two of the most directionally challenged people ever.

let me explain.

she has no sense of direction. as in, if she thinks she might be going the wrong way, or if she doesnt recognize what is around her she gets confused very easily, and immediately goes to the cell phone to call someone to reassure her.

and well, the other one, she can't tell her left from her right. in terms of sense of direction she is pretty good. logical that way, most of the time. but left and right, still has to do the old finger trick, hold up her hands and see which one makes the L.

now when you put these two together, and say, here go find a new place, a place that you nor anyone else has been too before. Well then you know you are in for a good time.

like the other day:

the two of them are driving down the highway, headed to boston, in their respective seats, the perpetually lost girl driving, and the other navigating.

driving down the highway, they reach a place unfamiliar to both of them. the navigator wants to hear a song on the radio, and struggling to figure out the new and different buttons on the new stereo system, they miss a turn.

the driver becomes very frustrated. and turns around. the navigator is bent on finding that damn song.

they turn on a guess down a road, and end up passing the road from which they were supposed to turn off of, and onto the road they currently were on.

the navigator, confidently reasserts the fact that it was she that in fact got them out of their hard place.

its a lie, really it was all the driver, but she tries to take the credit anyways.

they laugh later at the experience. knowing that they are both retarded. but its alright, because if they ever got lost, at least they would have each other to laugh with.

and laughter sometimes is better than some of the greatest places on earth.
