So, I did something really stupid the other day.
I left my lights on in my car.
I’ve got a really bad habit of putting my car lights on, even in the middle of the day, and leaving them on when I go home or walk into a store..Even the gym..I’ve been known to be paged at the gym for having my lights on.
So, the other day, Nate and I came home from running errands. I knew that we had to pick Ricky up at 3:30. We came home to chill. After a couple of hours at home, it was time to pick up Ricky. We head to the car. I realized that my alarm is not going off when I click the button (meanwhile, Nate is fighting me to hit the button because “he wants to do it!”) I get to the car and see that the switch for my lights was left on.
I pull out my handy-dandy battery charger. It’s similar to this one: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/601-2536106-0158567?asin=B00078WJUO&AFID=MSN&LNM=B00078WJUO|Wagan_Port_2Way_Jump_Starter&ref=tgt_adv_XPSD0500 Yeah, that would be the one that my dad bought me for my stupidity. So far, he’s gotten his money worth. I’ve probably used it a million times in 2 years.
So, I tell Nate to back up against the fence so that he’s out of the way.
I hook it up.
I start the car.
It worked.
Nate screams out over the loud humming of the engine, “MOM! You fixed it!” in a way only a military child could say it. He was so proud of me.
