I have terrible night vision.  I can't see street signs at night.  I can't see freeway signs at night.  I can't see car license plates at night.  So mostly I stay home after dark unless I already know where I am going.  Unfortunately, Megan and Aaron have a thing about the beach and also for restraunts in the city.  In other words they insist on living and socializing out of my comfort zone.  Google and I do fine in daylight, but sometimes..it gets dark.  
So I purchased a GPS and on Saturday morning, before taking Abby home I program the address into the unit and it is talking to me...
Abby:  Gramma why is it talking to you?
Me:  It is telling me where to go.
Abby:  But Gramma, you KNOW how to get to my house.
Me:  Yes I do.  I am just seeing how this works so that when I don't know where I am going I will know how to use it.
Abby:  Oh.  My Zoozie has one that shows where she is going backwards.
Me:  I know, thats a very special one, but mine doesn't know how to do that.
Abby:  Then how do you back up?
Me:  Well, I have to be very carful when I back up to look behind me.
Abby:  I can help you gramma!  I can see behind.
Me:  That will be great! I will appreciate your help.
Silence
Abby:  ...but gramma, I won't be here ALL the times!
Me:  It's ok.  I will be especially careful when you are not here.
Silence
Abby:  ...but my Zoozie's is the best - I'll ask her to buy you one.
