I Just Had to Laugh

Martha's not as young as she used to be. Martha is my car...my 1991 Buick with nearly 190,000 miles. Yesterday, I did something really dumb. Two things, actually. It was a dreary, rainy day yesterday, so on my lunch break, I turned on the headlights. Now, the nifty feature that alerts me to the fact that my headlights are still on after turning off the car quit working a while ago. Hence...a dead battery. But I'm prepared for such things. I keep jumper cables in the back seat. The problem is that when I got out of the car to get help from a coworker last evening, I also managed to lock my keys in the car. Genius! So there I am, dead battery and no keys. I couldn't help but laugh. (And, thankfully, I had spare keys in my purse...which I managed to not lock in my car!)
