If ever you find yourself sitting in the Fred Meyer parking lot, in a car you purchased less than 36 hours prior and the anti-theft alarm all of a sudden starts going berserk, do the following:
1) smile and tell your teenager who is sliding down his seat to the floor in sheer embarrassment, "Yes, we are cool."
2) keep smiling so that all the people walking past you will think you totally planned the highly annoying, ear piercing debacle.
3) don't injure your thumb pushing the heck out of the panic button on the key fob...it doesn't work.
4) call your husband and ask him if HE knows how to shut the alarm off because you're trapped in his car and can't get out.
5) breathe a big sigh of relief when after 2 (really long) minutes, the shrieking of the horn desists all on its own.
6) DO NOT open your door or put your key in the ignition as this will take you right back to step 1.
7) tell your hubby how much you love him when he calls back to say he talked to a rep at the Honda dealer and he said to push the "unlock" button on the key fob and it works!
8) laugh when the rep from Honda calls you 30 seconds later to make sure you're okay.
9) don't concern yourself with how it happened, just with how to make it stop if it happens again.
10) once you've safely and quietly exited the vehicle, tell your teenager, "C'mon...you have to admit, that was pretty funny." :)

That is too funny!
Poor Jake. Carol had a car that was honking randomly and frequently. Poor Slade had to drive it to be fixed and he got flipped off tons of times.
