My daughter asked why I always fold the roadmap back up but we only ever use the GPS

She watched me wrestle that accordion of chaos back into its original creases for the third time this month.

I explained that the map isn't for navigation—it's for the inevitable moment when the GPS decides we're driving through a lake.

Punchline

Besides, folding it wrong would be admitting I don't know where we're going. And that's not happening on my watch.
