They were standing in front of the counter in the bookstore. Behind the counter, I took out the map, but I was covering their room when I showed the map to them.
"Now," I remarked in a serious tone, the expression on my face falling, "you've got quite a journey ahead of you to get to your room, but I'm sure that if you pay close attention, you won't get lost." Still covering their room on the map, I pointed to the store, noting, "We're here. Go out the front door of the store," then, moving my finger, I continued, "Go two doors to the left, and you'll be at your room."
Realizing how much less complicated it was than I had led them to believe, they burst out laughing. Glad that my gag had gone so over so well, I started laughing too. "Thanks," I explained, "I'll be here all week."
