Jumping Cars

Much to my dismay, my car battery died today. My car, Fonda, has never failed me and today was they day that she decided to let me down.  I was picking up the kids I babysit from dance and when I went to start my car again it wouldn't start.... All I heard was "click", "click."  If you can imagine, I was not pleased.  The kids thought that it was the funniest thing in the world..... me, not so much.  I instinctively just call my mom so that she can tell me what to do.  My mom explains that my battery was just dead and that my car needs to be jumped.  Well that's just great, because I hadn't let my lights on or anything.  Stupid.  But I start going through my contacts of who to call first.  Of course, my initial reaction was the call Paige.  She's my best friend, she's reliable, she knows it all..... well.... She didn't have any cables (me neither).  So then I went through some other contacts and finally got to Sarah, who answered AND had cables.  Now please don't think that Sarah was a last resort, I was just trying to call boys first who I thought might know how to jump a car or older people such as Amanda, who I figured could be resourceful.  BUT NO FEAR, SARAH CAME THROUGH!  Sarah, like any good friend, watched a YouTube video on how to jump a car, downloaded some instructions on her phone, and called Thomas to get some advice, and she was well on her way to rescue, me, Max, and Olivia at the Chapel Hill Ballet School.  After connecting red to red and black to black, and starting my ignition we successfully got my car up and running again!  We were grindin', that's for sure.  (That was T-Mo's initial advice to me.... just grind.)  After wards, I took my car to the nice man at the full service BP station where he checked my battery and suggested that I get a new one before winter hits.  He was so nice to not make me get a new one right there... So I highly suggest the BP station at Eastgate. 

But for future reference, MCMANSION GIRLS CAN JUMP A CAR. And we are resourceful.  Thank you, Sarah!
