I guess this story starts back in 1993.
When we moved to Spring in 1993, we went on a quest to find "Chair Key." We were looking for furniture of sorts, and Mom had heard that this would be a good place to look. So we're all in the car, driving down the road looking for the elusive "Chair Key," but we can't find it. As we're driving, I see a store and I say, "Hey, there's a Chair King..." but no one hears me and we keep driving.
We drove for a pretty long time and eventually had to turn around. Driving the other direction now, I notice again, "Hey, there's Chair King," and Mom very excitedly says, "Yeah! Chair key, chair key!"

During this Christmas break, one of the fun family adventures we took was going to a new fobby friend's house. So my mom got directions from her, but the result was somewhat disastrous because of the Chinese head to English to Chinese head translation. She wrote down the directions as:

Hartaritiare Grove Left turn
--> stay on the road go & winding -- until you see to Highlander (Left) Timber (sub-division)->
--> Left turn on Timber Top Trail --> 17810 Timber View Court

I was driving with Melodie looking for "Hartaritiare," and we passed "Hargrave." I turn and say to her, "Man, I hope this isn't another 'Chair Key' incident and the street's real name is 'Hargrave'."
A second later, Joy calls us from the other car and says, "It's not Hartaritiare; it's Hargrave."

So we turn around again, turn onto Hargrave, and then proceeded to turn into about a thousand different streets looking for names that don't actually exist.
We finally made it, but almost no street name was correct.
