| Destination...football camp. |
Have you
ever had to stress to your child the importance of following directions? On
many occasions I have told my children - be
sure you read the directions before taking any medications, read directions
thoroughly before beginning a test or task, etc. It is only fitting that I
follow my own advice.
My teen son
and I were drained after leaving an all-day football camp. He was tired from
running drills and I was tired from watching him run drills. Anxious to get
home I pulled out of the parking lot of the college and headed in the direction
I thought was home.
“Did you set
the GPS on the phone?” I asked my son.
“Yes, just
keep driving straight. I’ve got this under control.”
After
driving a couple of blocks, a voice blared from my phone and told me when to
turn and how many miles I had yet to go before the next turn. After 25 minutes
of navigating winding roads, the GPS voice came on and told me…“In 50 yards you
have reached your destination, Dundee Coney Island.”
I thought I
was going home, but my son programmed the GPS to lead us to food. I followed
directions, but they did not lead where I thought they would. I should have
asked more questions.
Have you
ever been in a situation where following directions did not give you the
results you expected?
