Why we can never leave Metropolis

As most of you know Lois and I live in Metropolis but we are both Flight Attendants and we are based in Gotham City. Lois has been based out of Gotham for most of her 3.5 years and has been riding around Gotham with me. Lois knows how to get to the grocery store, Blockbuster, the gym, the airport and a few restaurants. Lois knows the most direct route to each of these locations and must completely retrace her steps back to the house to get to the next location. In Metropolis you cant get Lois lost but that might have something to do with that she grew up there and has these huge landmarks to guide herself by. There are no landmarks in Gotham but you would think after a year let alone three she might find her way around. Today Lois and I decided to go to On The Border for lunch and then over to the Gotham Mall which Lois proudly claims she knows how to get to if I can get her to her old apartment complex. See what I mean about direct routes. OTB sits of a six lane roadway in a shopping complex and we turn right on a four lane road and then an immediate right into the shopping complex. We had an excellent lunch and we were inside for about an hour. I now have a full belly (the endless enchiladas took a toll) and extremely sleepy and as Lois has proclaimed earlier she knows how to get to the mall. I close my eyes and recline my seat to take the pressure of my full belly and relax. I am awakened to Lois excitedly claiming "I don't remember this round-a-bout on the way to the mall." I open my eyes and we are on a little two lane road off in the suburbs and definitely headed in the wrong direction. I asked her where we were and she says " I went straight like I was supposed too." Now you have to understand the last time I took a nap while she was driving and I woke up and asked her where we were she stated "Crossing the lake." Which would have been fine if we were supposed to cross a lake, but you guessed it we were not supposed to be any where near a lake. I will give Lois credit we were in Smallville on the way to pick up the super kids and she had been with me only twenty or so times to pick them up. OK, back to Gotham and the mall. We turn around and I make a hypothesis that OTB is going to be up ahead on the left. Lois is now claiming this whole incident is my fault for closing my eyes while she was driving. I start pointing out these landmarks that neither one of us have seen and should have been a pretty good clue she was headed in the wrong direction. Sure enough OTB is ahead on our left just as I predicted. Lois is laughing so hard she is crying at this point as she realises that yes she is in fact to blame for turning the wrong way out of the shopping complex. With her navigator awake Lois finally finds the mall. We walk through the mall hand in hand enjoying our day and laughing about our latest adventure. One of the greatest attributes of Lois is that she's not afraid to laugh at herself and I love to tease her. I love to hear my wife laugh and it is one of the most pleasing things to listen too. Well we had plenty more to laugh about as once again I had to provide navigational directions to get us home.
