If You Tackle It, You Might Nail It
I am notoriously bad with directions. My dad and I are planning on meeting in the town where we live; I am walking from my house and he is walking from his.
Me: “Where will I meet you?”
Dad: “You know the tackle shop?”
I’m a woman in my twenties with absolutely zero interest in fishing.
Me: “Why would I know where the tackle shop is?”
Dad: “You know the nail bar?”
I can’t express how little I care about nail décor.
Me: “Why would I know where the nail bar is?”
Mum: “You know the church?”
Me: “Which one?”
Mum: “The church of England in the middle of town.”
Me: “Uh…”
Eventually, Dad gets out Google Maps and points to a landmark.
Dad: “I’ll meet you here at 3:45.”
Me: “Oh, the fountain? Why didn’t you lead with that?”
Dad: “I didn’t think you’d know there was a fountain in town.”
Me: “But a tackle shop is essential knowledge?!”
Fortunately, I found him easily enough!
