Failure to Launch

So this morning I had my mothly reflexology appointment and had to leave the house slightly earlier than my Man. Since it's a brisk -30 here in Queen City today I offered to start his car. I hopped in and went through the "starting standard cars" checklist in my head. Hold down the pedal with my foot, check. Turn the keys in the ignition, check. Awful weird sound and failure to start, check.

After attempting to start it three more times, my Man, who could see me struggling from the bedroom window, opened it up and asked what the problem was. Frustrated, cold and slightly angry I yelled back, "It's NOT starting!! I'm doing everything I'M SUPPOSED to do! I held down the far right pedal and turned the KEYS!!! (weird sound) SEE nothing!"

"WHAT? It's the LEFT pedal, LEFT, not RIGHT. The far right pedal is the GAS! You're flooding the engine!"

"I thought it was the little one.."

I held down the far LEFT pedal, turned the keys and sure enough (thank god because otherwise I ruined it) it started. I quickly got out the car and ran towards mine while quickly tossing out an, "Okay, bye! Love you!"
