Turn the key!

I did not totally freak out about my van totally died on me this morning. After releasing the parking brake to back out of my driveway this morning the brakes did not fail (we did not dangerously roll down our very steep driveway into the road.) The steering wheel was not locked and I wasn't stuck unable to drive period. I wasn't seriously trying to figure out who stole gas out of my vehicle in my own driveway while simultaneously trying to figure out how to push/steer my vehicle out of the middle of the roadway. This absolutely, for sure, without a doubt did not all take place before the teenager sitting beside me reminded me it usually helps to turn the vehicle on.
