I feel like I have a lot of "special" posts. It's sort of a theme with me. Anyway, this one is no exception.
Nolan, the kids, and I went to Sam's Club today. We shopped for about an hour. Then we walked through the parking lot. As we approached our car, Nolan casually asks,
"Hey…where are the keys?"
To which I humbly reply (with a tilt of my head),
"Is our car running?"
And yes, my friends, our car WAS running. It. Was. RUNNING! For an hour. With the doors unlocked.
I mean, who DOES this?

That's awesome! I have to admit, I was not surprised when mom told me!!! You don't get the name "Special K" for no reason
(W)Right? J/K
This has got to be one of the funniest things I've heard in a VERY LONG time...that made me pee my pants!
Oh, I did it just a month or so ago...while at lunch at Costa Vida with Lena!!! I was obviously a little frazzled. I feel your pain!!
I can't say I've done this but I can say that I appreciate knowing someone who has. Still laughing -- out loud!
Just another reason why I love you. You are smart, you don't want to waste valuable minutes when you have had a long day of shopping! No just get in the car and go, smart move I would say.
Luckily it was still running and not gone! I am convinced if I do this in I-dee-ho I could not get rid of my car.
OHHH my gosh! I do have to admit that's the funniest/craziest thing I've heard today ;) Holy cow I'm just glad the car was still there. Isn't it kind of scary how pre-occupied we can be sometimes? I haven't ever done that, but I have done some crazy stuff.
Still laughing. Who does this? Ummm.. You? Haha, actually... parents who really underneath it all were hoping for a new car from the Insurance they might have received?
Uh, what's that you say? A mini-van? Oh, just parents in a big and crazy hurry to get in and hit all the sample tables first.
Oh... love the nickname... Special K!??
No lie. I would be OFFENDED if I came out and saw my car running with unlocked doors and nobody stole it! The nerve! (So relieved nobody stole your car!!)
OH MY GOSH that is funny. Thanks for making me laugh today Kristi. What did you do when you realized it-laugh, cry, wet yourself, hit yourself, hit your husband, or hit your kids? just wondering. i probably would done a combo of laughing, peeing my pants and then hitting joey. cause it probably was his fault:)
That's hilarious! You all are so laid back. I can just see him asking you so non chalantly and you reply like it's no big deal! You crack me up!
That is so something that I would do! Ha ha!
Hehe! I love that. You're hilarious.
I can't say I've ever done that...Lance did once though when we were first married. He stopped at 6 in the morning to help someone change their flat tire...when he went to go get back in the car...it was locked...and still running...I told him THAT"S what you get for stopping to help people!!! Knock it off! :)
I locked my babies in the car at the gas station when we lived in Oregon...I had to ask for a hanger so I could break into my own car...i am a dork....I also try to start my car after it's already been started, then it makes that horrible loud noise that everyone turns and looks at you like..."hey stupid lady...don't you know your car is already running?"
WHAT! You_have_got_to_be_kidding_me! Are you crazy? Oh, you are SO lucky it was still parked in the lot. Hope you sent lots of prays up there.
I can't even imagine how lucky you were to have your car still in the lot when you came out. I'm a little OCD about locking my car... I have to hear the horn beep at leasst 5 times before I can walk away. I love your crazy funny stories
holy freaking A. Kristi, that is the best thing I have heard in DAYS. literally. AWESOME. you two knuckleheads are a match made in heaven:)
