No, he got very cold trying to start it himself and failing. It was still cold the next day when we got it started. He got very cold fingers both times. I take it that he learned this lesson well because getting your hands that cold hurts a lot when you thaw them out again.

I’m sure your son wouldn’t forget that lesson in a hurry!

What did you teach your child recently?

I taught my son about starting cars in very cold weather. It is a car with fuel injection that you cannot pump before trying to start. He pumped it to try to start it and failed, then ground the battery to nothing. We had to unfreeze the battery and charge it before trying again the next day. We got the car going on the first try the next day. 
I hope that he learned about patience before pumping on the gas as if he were driving a carbureted engine car. I hope he learned some patience. I hope, I hope!
