I don't believe it

Yesterday, after dropping Abby off at school, I went back to the car only to discover that the remote central locking unit isn't working.

I pressed the button on the fob over and over again...nothing. I had to be at work in a few minutes. I decided I would just unlock the door manually with the key and hope that the alarm doesn't go off and I can somehow get the car started. The key won't go in the lock, it just doesn't fit.

This is ridiculous! How am I supposed to drive my car when I can't unlock it, and the key doesn't even fit?

I gaze through the window of the car, wondering what on earth I am going to do. It's then that I see stuff all over the passenger seat that I don't recognise. Seriously, what is going on?

And then it dawns on me, slowly and painfully...it's not my car! A mixture of embarrassment and relief washes over me.

Just then one of the other parents drives up and asks if I was just trying to get into the wrong car...I laugh nervously...they laugh loudly...but to be fair the cars did look very similar...honestly...no they did, I promise...d'oh!
