What Are The Odds?

On Wednesday afternoon Heidi, Ella, and I hopped in the car and headed to Pigeon.  We met my parents in Birch Run to do a bit of shopping at the outlet malls, and then we went to dinner.  We just opted for Applebees, as there really isn't much to choose from in Birch Run (although I was really pulling for Halo Burger or Tony's).  Anyway, as we were waiting for our table, Heidi asked me to run back out to the car to get Ella's food (mashed up green beans was the entree for Ella tonight...in case you cared to know).  As I was approaching our car, I hit the remote to unlock the door.  You can imagine my surprise when not only did the lights on my car flash, but so did the lights on the car parked two spots away.  At first, I thought it must be a coincidence as the owner of that car must be on his way to leave.  I looked around and realized that I was the only one in the parking lot.  So, I hit the button again...sure enough, my remote worked for another car.  So, I did what anyone in my situation would do...I hit the start button to see if the engine would start.  After the two second delay, both my car and the other car started up.  I smiled, thinking of all the fun things I could do with this discovery.  And, if I had more time, I'm sure I would have done all of those things.  But, I decided to stop the engine, grab the green beans and go eat some supper.  Pretty anti-climactic, I know, but some things are better left undone.
