It was due to happen

This happens at least once every couple of months. Without fail. One of my kids will play with the overhead lights in the car. They'll turn them on and then not turn them off. Of course, this will happen in the daylight hours so that it's not really obvious. I will, of course, get out of the car and leave them on because I can't see that they're on. They will stay on. All night. Therefore, when I go out to my car the next morning to go somewhere like, say, preschool, and I'm in a really big hurry because it starts in 10 minutes, I won't be able to get there because the battery will be dead.

Thank you for taking the kids today Kristen even though it wasn't your turn and you had really short notice. I'll make it up to you.

Hey, are you still coming tomorrow?

Christa said...

Yes, I'm pretty sure I'll be there tomorrow and I may be bringing Bobie too.

This happens to us ALL THE TIME! I hate it! I now leave the lights switched off (there's a button in the front of my car that controls ALL the lights) so the kids can't turn them on at all. I was tired of not being able to start my car!

Oh yep. BTDT. Several times.
I'm going to go look for that button that Rosie talked about.

So glad you had someone to help you out.

I left my lights on the other day when I went to Sam's Club and I was totally terrified the car wouldn't start. It did, but I have been more careful since. Congrats on the piggy win, and I hope Phillip finds a good home at your place!
