Siri
Last week we were driving back from Toma River and heading straight to a birthday party. I had already looked on the map to find out where it was. The invitation said "playground at north end of Dobbs Ferry water front park." Thinking that was an official name, I put that into the google map, but nothing came up. So I realized that "waterfront park" was not an official name, but I assumed that, like in the other river towns, there's be a park on the River near the train station. Dobbs Ferry looked really small on the map, so I was confident we'd find it easily. We were still in NJ when I looked all this up, so I figured I'd direct JJ when we got closer. As we were crossing the Tappan Zee, JJ got out his phone and said, "Siri, where is Dobbs Ferry?" I said, "Oh JJ I already looked it up. I know where it is." He said, "so what's the address?" I said, "it just says, 'Dobbs Ferry waterfront park." He asked Siri again where it was. I tried to tell him, "it's not in there, it's just a generic name..." He kept trying to talk into his phone while driving. I said, "JJ, listen, I'm trying to tell you something. I already looked it up. I know where it is. It won't come up on Siri." He shouted, "can you let me just play with my phone?!" I said, "oh well sorry, of course you can play with your phone. I thought you wanted directions!"
