You Go Straight to Your House, Guffaw!
Guffaw: The night your little sister was born G-Momo and I came to visit you and your parents. The plan was that your Mommy, Daddy, and G-Momo were going to go to the hospital together when it was time for Poema to arrive and I was going to take care of you. You were given the choice of where you wanted to stay that night and you decided you wanted to spend the night at G-Momo and Guffaw's house and have breakfast with Guffaw.
I had put a car seat into my car, on the "big sister side" behind the driver, for just such an occasion. Usually when we picked you up we did so in G-Momo's van, since it always had your car seat in it. This was, therefore, going to be the first time I drove you from your house to G-Momo and Guffaw's house.
When your Mommy decided it was time to go to the hospital, everybody said their goodbyes and you and I started our drive to G-Momo and Guffaw's house. We turned right on McFadden from your apartment. I then turned left on Beach Blvd. and then you, from your car seat began protesting:
"Guffaw, you go straight to your house. You don't turn to go to G-Momo's."
Apparently, when your parents or G-Momo go to G-Momo and Guffaw's house from yours they go west on McFadden until it deadends at Bolsa Chica and then they turn towards G-Momo and Guffaw's house. I, on the other hand, prefer to turn onto Beach and then Heil, which deadends at the street that runs by G-Momo and Guffaw's house.
I told you that Guffaw drives a different way to G-Momo and Guffaw's house. However, despite my reassurances we would get there, you were still not convinced. You repeatedly told me that:
"You go straight to your house. You don't turn to go to G-Momo's."
When I turned onto Heil, my route of choice, you recognized that as the street that runs by the housing tract where Nana and Papa live. You then said:
"This is not the right way to your house. You go straight to G-Momo's. You are going by Nana and Papa's house."
As we pulled into the "echo place" (the parking garage at G-Momo and Guffaw's house) I told you "See, Guffaw got us home." I also told you that in the morning we would probably get to drive to the hospital and see your new sister, Poema. The fact I got us to G-Momo and Guffaw's house apparently did not give you confidence in my sense of directions, because you then said:
"You will need to take us the right way to the hospital, because you didn't take us to your house the right way. You go straight to your house. You don't turn to go to G-Momo's. You went by Nana and Papa's house."
