You know you are an adult when you get jumper cables and socks for Christmas and you feel you totally scored the jackpot! Saturday night my car battery just kah-put on me and decided to take a break. I asked a guy in the parking lot at work if he wouldn't mind jump starting my car. He said, "I'm sorry I don't have any cables." "OOOooOOOoOoO" I thought!! Proudly and with a huge grin I yelled "I do! I have jumper cables!" Yes... this was a proud moment for me I got to use my new Christmas present! The man laughed pretty dang hard at me when he goes "They still have the twisty ties on them and plastic..." I just smiled and said "YEah.... their new." Obviously jumper cables are no big deal to most people, but to me... it was another step in adult hood....
So if you ever need to be jump started... just holla..... I've got my rockin LONG jumper cables.... thanks Dad that was the best present EVER!

Ah, Daurell, the moment has arrived when those kids appreciate the practical! Now, Amelia, did the guy teach you how to use them?! It can be very interesting if you don't plug the right cable to the right battery thingy!
Wow Amelia...jumper cables. What a lovely practical gift. Did your Dad wrap them up with a big bow and everything? A point of interest..be sure to connect them correctly when you use them. Years ago I had the choice experience of blowing up a car battery when it was hooked up wrong (don't ask..long story).
The hair looks great and who is William????
