Life with Debbie...

I try to record things I find funny in life. That way I can laugh at them more than once. The following conversation happened between Debbie and me a few years ago when I was working in South Arlington. She was going to Arlington to see the grandkids...

1. This is an actual phone conversation I had with Debbie earlier this morning as she drove toward Arlington from Hurst :



R "Hey it's me. Don't go south on 820 to I-20. I-20 is shut down due to a bad accident."


D "So how should I come?"


R " Take Precinct Line Rd past Hwy 10, cross the railroad tracks, and turn left at the light. Follow that road all the way around to Green Oaks, turn right on Green Oaks and follow it all the way here."


D "I think I've come that way before but I went straight at the light and hit Green Oaks."


R "No, if you go straight you will run into Randol Mill Rd which takes you right back to 820. Turn left at the light and you will run into Green Oaks."


D "Are you sure I can't go straight and run into Green Oaks?" I'm almost positive I will run into Green Oaks if I go straight at the light."


R "Okay fine. Why don't you just go straight at the light then."


D "Okay, if I go straight through the light I will run into Green Oaks?"


R "No, if you go straight at the light you will run into Randol Mill which will take you to 820."


D "So if I won't run into Green Oaks when I go straight why would you tell me to go that way??"


Later in the morning she called me and told me she was lost somewhere and sitting in the parking lot at Big Daddy's Liquor Store. I told her to look for the sun. If she was looking at the sun she should get right back onto the road and stay on it. If the sun was to her back she should get back on the road to the left and stay on it. She got to Jamie and Jennifer's a little while ago.
