On Christmas Eve I was driving home around 11 p.m. from a family gathering. Not more than a block from my house, my car got STUCK in the ice and snow on the road. My wheels spun and spun and spun but would go absolutely nowhere. I got out of the car in the freezing, desolate street and tried unsuccessfully to “dig” my tires out of the mess on the road. I’m not sure why I thought that would work, but hey. It was late at night!
About 5 minutes later a car comes down the road and stops. A woman asked if I needed help and I said YES! She got behind my car and pushed – with no luck. I was ready to tell her “thanks” and still be stuck, but she pulled out her cell phone to call her boyfriend who lived down the street. Her boyfriend came in just a few minutes and between the two of them, they successfully pushed my car out of the ice and snow.
I tried to yell out the window how I could thank them, but they said “keep going! or you’ll get stuck again!”
Did I mention it was 11 p.m. on Christmas Eve?
