An 8-year-old girl wanted a Frappuccino — so she drove a car 13 miles to get one

When my oldest began driving, I found I couldn’t give her directions by naming streets, I had to name landmarks, e.g., the 7-eleven, the fire house, etc. She knew almost no street names. My dad used to give “Catholic” directions, and would mention all the Catholic churches on the route. In suburban Boston, there were plenty.
