I first noticed it with Tami. Extremely thorough and clear directions. Back in Cali, when people give directions like that, they're often wrong. Not here.
Today I went to the racist house to look at the kitchen island (and it's PERFECT and saves me the hassle of Ikea and the expense of anyplace else) and she called when she wanted me to come over. "What's your address?" I asked. "I can mapquest it."
I could hear the disdain drip from her voice. "Oh, I can give you directions." And they ranked right up there as among the best directions ever. Yup, far better than mapquest. And I learned how to pronounce a street name correctly.
There's a hospitality and a cordiality about southern women ... but mostly, there are superior direction-giving skills.
