Sunday night:
Him: I'm not sure what's wrong, I think it might be my alternator. My lights started flickering and then the engine died. It could be the battery.
Me: Do you want to jump it?
Him: I'm not sure it will do any good, but we can give it a try.
I backed up my car beside his, break out the jumper cables from my emergency kit from Driver's Edge (so glad to have that thing), and hand them to him. I popped the hood and he got to work while I mostly just stood there because I didn't know to do, and he seemed to have it under control. He hooked the batteries up and gave it a go and it started fine. He unhooked the cables from his mini van which kept running, thankfully. He thanked me, and we got back on the road.
I got home and asked my dad what order you hook things up so I'll know for next time!
