us!

Subject: [il-talk] a funny story

Hi all. I just wanted to share a funny story that happened today. My mom was 
here visiting today and she dropped me off at the bank, or so I thought. She 
was giving me verbal directions from her car and she told me that the door 
to the bank was on the left. From the moment I walked into the building, I 
knew something was wrong. The inside of the building had a different smell 
than the bank and there was a chime sound when I opened the door. Then, the 
lady behind the desk asked if I had an appointment. I asked what building 
this was and she said it was medical center. I explained I was looking for 
the bank and she said it was right next door. As I was coming out of the 
building, my mom had gotten out of the care and I had heard her sa she was 
sorry but she guided me to the wrong door. Michael was in the car with her. 
Michael was still waiting in the car so after my mom had gone back in the 
car and I found the door to the bank, Michael said, "Grandma, why did you 
send Mommy to the doctor's office?" After I did what I had to do at the bank 
and came back out the door, I jokingly told my mom that that was the last 
time I'll rely on her for verbal directions. All three of us had a good 
laugh about what happened. This was one instance where I was grateful that I 
have good travel skills and that I was aware enough of my surroundings in 
order to know what was going on.
