It was a mild Texas night, when Carlos, Laura and baby Andrew were out at Round Rock Crackerbarrel for dinner. Andrew had eaten a half hour before, but unfortunately the restaurant was busy and the family was forced to wait twenty minutes to be seated. By the time dinner was done, Andrew was far overdue for his next nap, and was getting fussy and overtired.
Carlos, Laura, and Andrew got into their 2002 Honda Odyssey EX-L-RES and set out to drive home. "Phew, he's asleep!" heard Carlos from the backseat, a block from home. Apparently the Odyssey's serene ride had lulled young Andrew to sleep.
The family van was a bit dirty, so Carlos got the idea that since young Andrew was asleep, they could go top off the gas tank and run the van through the car wash. A few minutes of gas pumping and still a few more minutes in the car wash, and the Mesa Beige paint was smooth as glass.
Carlos, Laura, and sleeping Andrew arrived home shortly after. Carlos fished for the correct HomeLink button the open the garage, and pulled in. "I hope I can get Andrew out of the car without waking him... poor sleepy little guy," thought Carlos.
Carlos pressed the button to open the power sliding door... and
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
An image of the gas filler door lever flashed through Carlos' mind, just before Andrew started to cry.
Carlos sighed and said, "Thanks, Honda."
