On a sunny Sunday afternoon…

Me: Let’s go to the Claude Moore Colonial Farm!

Siri: Whee! Fun! Let’s go!

Me: How do we get there?

Siri: This way!

*everyone drives along happily for a while*

Siri: Take this exit!

Me: No problemo. Boy am I glad I have a GPS to tell me where to go!

Siri: I know right? Now go along this road and you’ll be at your destination.

Me: …..

Siri: What’s wrong? Why aren’t you going along that road like I told you?

Me: You may not have noticed this, faithful Siri, but there is a rather large building in front of us.

Siri: Nope, sure didn’t. My maps tell me there is no such building. But there is a road!

Me: Yes, the road goes beside the building and off into the woods.

Siri: Forward!

Me: Perhaps I should mention that this building is surrounded by a chain link fence.

Siri: So? Go down that… why are you trying to change my directions? Where we want to go is down that road!

Me: Perhaps I should also mention that the chain link fence has barbed wire across the top. Several layers of barbed wire in fact. And you may have noticed a whirling noise.

Siri: I can’t hear anything but your radio. WHICH IS TOO LOUD BY THE WAY.

Me: …. that noise is the lovely whirl of cameras as they swivel in the direction of the small four door sedan, silver, tag number blah blah blah that is currently idling in front of their gate. In a few moments you may be able to hear the clicking noise of a keyboard as the CIA LOOKS UP WHO FOLLOWED THEIR DUMB GPS OFF THIS EXIT.

Siri: Well there’s no need to get huffy. You asked how to get there and I told you. It’s not my fault this CIA building is in the way. And I don’t care how many times you try to get me to tell you a different way that is the way to go WHY ARE YOU TURNING AROUND!!

Me: Stupid GPS.

Siri: I HEARD THAT!
