Want to hear a funny story?

After coming home from our visit, Jeremy picked up the car and the battery was dead. He realized that he has left the lights on the whole time we were gone. We had our car jumped, but our turning signal light would not turn off. It ended up with me carrying a wrench to unhook and hook up the battery the next day.
By night time, the battery died on us again and Jeremy was trying to let me go to bed and take care of the situation for me. His cables to jump it would not reach, so he needed to back it out and get it closer to his truck. Well, the battery was dead, so he thought he would push it. For some of you who know, my driveway is in a slope. As a skier does, the car took off. It jumped the curb across the street and into the neighbors back yard. Our neighbors yard is in a 90 degree slope. Praise God, it turned right and rested on their evergreen tree. The only tree in the whole yard. It could have rocketed right into the back of their house!
Jeremy calls me to help, but what can I do? We call the tow, then we had to report the accident to the police. The police officer was a friend of ours from church. We said, “Hi, Tom….” He told us not to be embarassed. Luckily, the neighbor was not upset. The car just turfed the yard quite a bit and broke some branches. When I called the police department, they laughed when they heard the story. Well, every one got a kick out of it.
Kia told us the lights should not have stayed on while we were gone, so the battery drain seemed unavoidable. Pray for us that the expense it not too bad and we can return to normal as soon as possible.
Here is a picture of the car. Thank God Jeremy was not in it!
