"I have directions"

Cali, 6 years old, calls me in a very excited mood. This is actually normal for Cali. My dad calls her "Nitro". It fits. She wants to go play at a friend's house. I know this friend, they were in kindergarten together, but I didn't know where she lived. Cali has it covered. "Mom, I have her address AND directions. And Sean can walk me over there."
First I get caught up in, of all the supervision she has, why did she randomly volunteer Sean to take her?
So I ask her, "What's the address?"
"It's 10267."
"Cali, that isn't an address."
"Yes! It's her address!"
"It's not a full address. OK, let me here what the directions are."
"OK, first you go south. Then east."
...
"That's what you have for directions?"
"Yes, Sean can take me."
"Give me her phone number, I think I better take care of this for you."
I was surprised when she gave me an actual phone number.
