NOT MY SON!

Before you read, and as clarification, this article is not about one of my sons. But when I read this, I thought about how Isaac could come up with this plan too, right down to the carseat in the driver's seat to be "safe". I'm sure it made complete sense to the kid at the time.

BROOMFIELD, Colo. -- A small power outage in Broomfield was blamed on a 6-year-old boy who decided he was hungry and wanted to drive his grandmother's car to a nearby restaurant while sitting in his child seat.He didn't get that far.The car came to a stop after striking an electrical box near 120th Avenue and Greenway Drive around 8:30 a.m.

The boy was not hurt in the crash.Police said the boy grabbed the keys to his grandmother's car, moved his booster seat from the back into the driver's seat, started the engine and put the car in reverse.Afer 49 feet, he struck a curb, then went nearly another 30 feet before hitting the electrical box. Shaken, the boy ran back into the townhome complex and told his grandmother about what he did.

By the time both the boy and woman went back outside to the scene, police officers were there, responding to a call of a hit-and-run.Officers questioned the boy and the 6-year-old fessed up in a manner that was very matter-of fact and yet very adorable, said Broomfield police spokeswoman Colleen O'Connell.The power outage affected about 200 people.
