I don't need no stinkin' GPS

So mom called over the weekend. She's in Spain with a friend (what a life) anyway, we kvetched more about my trip and this insane flying schedule I have in February. Then, it came time to discuss her time at my house.

"I need a map. I need to know how to get places."
"Mom, I have a GPS in my car, it's a directional device, you'll love it"
"I don't know how to use it. What do I need a GSP for?"
"It's GPS and Joyce will show you." Joyce is a friend mine, locally who is going to look in on mom from time to time and make sure she's not, well, lost :)
"Is it a computer? I don't think I like that"
"Mom, it's easy, I'll preprogram places in there, like Coronado..."
"I need directions to Coronado, wait, let me get a pen, you can tell me right now..."
"Mom, I'll plug it in on the GPS, it'll be easy." tho I am already beginning to think this is a bad idea...
"Why do I need a GSP?"
I'm counting to 10. My mom is great, of all the things I love about her, I love her confusion most of all.
"Mom, you know what, forget the GPS?"
"So can I have directions?"
"Yes, mom, I'll leave you directions, don't worry."
"And a map?"
"Yes, mom, and a map."

That afternoon I gave in, bought a map. The young kid at the counter didn't even know what it was: "Wow, I didn't know we carry these! Don't you have a GPS?"
