Well , I'm glad you're finally back . I was wondering what happened .   I feel kind of stupid .   Why ?   We got lost coming back . I guess I don't really know this town yet .   You got lost . You're kidding !   No . We took a wrong turn somewhere.And Joseph doesn't know the town at all . So I started giving him directions.But I didn't really know where we were . So we got seriously lost .   You could have called .   I know I could have . But finally we asked someone where we were .   You've been gone for two hours . How could you get lost for so long ?   Guess where we ended up .   I don't know . Where ?   When we finally decided to ask someone , they told us we were in Grangerfield .   Grangerfield ! You were in Grangerfield ? That's a completely different town ! How could you drive to a completely different town ?   I don't know.The person we asked had to give us directions to the highway to get back here .   Grangerfield is like a dozen miles away from here .   I know it is . I don't know how it happened .   Hmm , maybe I do .   What ?   Maybe I have an idea how it happened .   How ?   You were too busy looking at Joseph , and you weren't paying attention to the road .   Oh , that's what you think , huh ?
