Isn't it Ironic

After school a friend and I were heading to Bemidji to the boys basketball game. As I turned the key in the ignition, nothing happened. I turned the key again, still nothing. Just those little lights on the dash that come on to anounce that something isn't right. Well, the third time, the car started, so we headed out.

Since I was scared of getting stranded after the game, I decided to switch cars with Troy who was at work in Bemidji.

All is well and we head to the game. Apart from our team losing, the evening was enjoyable. My friend and I decide to leave the game a little early because Mateo was getting restless. As I'm putting Mateo into the carseat, my friend leans over to the driver's side and turns the key to start the car. Nothing. She tries again. Still nothing. I get into the driver's side and try. Click. Uh,oh! I slowly reach over and switch the headlights...off. We have a dead battery.

For all you English students out there, this is a good example of irony.

Note: We were able to quickly call upon another friend who was still watching the game and got our car started before the rush. Oh yeah, the last time I left my lights on in my car and the battery went dead...at least ten years ago!
