Shoes in the Square: Day3 Morning

Shoes in the Square
The shoes from yesterday, when tried on this morning, no longer fit correctly. He thinks he needs another size, so they decide to find another location of Fleet Feet.
Dad: You got a yellow pages?
Me: No, of course not
Dad: Who doesn't have a yellow pages?
Mike: People don't use that. We look that up online.
Mom: Jer, they can use the computer.
Dad: Fine! Look up where else we can go!
Mom: *looks* It says there is one in Lincoln Square
Dad: Where is lincoln square?
Me: Is that what you want to ask?
Dad: Yes, where is lincoln square!
Me: Isn't the question "can we get to lincoln square by public transportation?"
Dad: *loud sigh* No! Where is lincoln square!
Me: Fine, it's just west of andersonville. Was that helpful?
Dad: I don't know what that means!
Me: I know that, which is why I said it was the wrong question.
Dad: Well how far is it?
Me: You mean, how long would it take to get there?
Dad: Is it far!?!
Me: If it's too far or takes too long, aren't you still gonna go?
Dad: Yes!
Me: Ok, well then I would argue the only thing that matters is how many blocks the store is from the station. That's all you care about. You need to look that up on google maps.
Mom: I'm on mapquest!
Me: Ok, well use google maps.
...
Mom: Jer come look! It doesn't look far. The M is for the train station, but the green arrow is for the store. It's on Lincoln Avenue.
Dad: It's raining!
