The sound you just heard...
...might have been my head asploding.
I believe I have mentioned, now and then, about Mike starting to get interested in big boy things. Right now it's pick-up trucks, with the whole concept of driving coming in a close second.
A few weeks ago he started slipping outside to spend quality time with Dreamcloud, sitting in the driver's seat, heading out to a world of his own inside his head. I had made a casual check or two to assure myself the car wasn't actually being DRIVEN anywhere, but I didn't really mind him having some fun imagination time on his own. I honestly thought he had enough good sense to not mess with the controls and things. No, I have no explanation for my mental lapse.
Don't worry, nothing AWFUL happened -- not even to Mike when he got home from school today. It's just that I had a bunch of errands planned, and when I tried to fire ol' Dreamcloud up to go to town to do them...it was NadaZipZilchNothin' City.
So I am currently administering electricity to the battery via our handy dandy charger, which I was actually able to find, so WIN! there. Mike is very very sorry. Possibly more because this means I will NOT be spending any time today fixing his computer, which he somehow totally borked (I suspect illicit downloading of truck-related games) than because he understands my annoyance and frustration. But I'll take what I can get.
I guess if this is the worst Mike-related car problem we ever have, we'll be lucky.
