Some People Just Can't Skip a Meal

This sounds like something I would have done when I was younger... if it wasn't such a square. Now everyone knows I can't skip a meal - but apparently, I'm not alone.

A hungry little 6-year old grabbed his grandmother's car keys, positioned his child seat behind the steering wheel and tried to drive himself to an Applebee's restaurant... but he didn't get too far.Unable to take the car out of reverse, the boy backed up 75 feet from her house into a transformer Tuesday, knocking out electricity and phone service to dozens of townhouses in this suburb north of Denver.

No one was injured and the boy, whose name was not released, got out of his car and told his grandmother what happened. "He proceeded to start the car and started backing up," said Sgt. Colleen O'Connell of the Broomfield Police Department. "He went backward about 47 feet, hit the curb, then went backward another 29 feet." No charges will be filed.

The grandmother said, "I have five children of my own, so I know you cannot watch them ."
