Cars and batteries

I go out to my car this morning to take the kids to school and it will not start. It is early (7:00 a.m.) and I need to get the kids to school before they are late. I think to myself, "Why does this always happen when Rich is at work and I can't get a hold of him?" I go to the neighbors house and Lars is extremely helpful and jumpstarts my car. I must tell you he is laughing the whole time. We cannot get my car out of park to roll it out of the garage, so we try to get his big suburban inside the garage next to my van. It is only a two car garage and I had parked a little far over into the middle of it. Lars crawls out the back window to get out of his suburban and we finally get the cables hooked up and started. I drive the van to the dealer, because it is under warranty, and when I get there I immediately turn the engine off. As soon as I do, I remember the battery is bad and say out loud, "Oh , no!" All the guys at the shop just start laughing and then one guy brings out the spare charger and starts hooking it up to the van. He tells me I am not the first to do that. What a funny morning. I would have taken a picture of everything, but I was afraid Lars might not help me again if I started taking candid pictures. He would have been afraid of being the next 'You Tube' sensation or something.
