Frustrating

Last night my daughter worked at the Walmart across town ringing the bell for Salvation Army. Not that far away but too far to be walking home late in the evening. Her mother told her on the phone to go to the nearest bus stop and catch the number 11 bus and get off about 2 miles from the house and Mom will meet her. Simple, yes? Simple, no.
The girl went to the nearest bus stop and took the number 12 bus and went to the City park. The park is also about 2 miles from home but in the completely opposite direction of where Mom went! Mom is stuck in one place, the girl in the other.
So, the girl takes the number 11 bus from the city park, travels all over town, and finally gets to where she should have been an hour or more earlier. Thankfully there was a store where Mom was that stayed open late!
My daughter lives in her own little la la land more often than not and usually has no clue where she is when she is out of the neighborhood. I fear this one may never grow up :(
