BLOOMFIELD,CO-

(AP) A 6-year-old boy was hungry and decided he'd go to Applebees. So he grabbed the car keys, took his booster seat from the back seat of his grandmother's car and placed it in the driver's seat, then made a go of driving himself to the restaurant Tuesday.

He made it about 75 feet. Unable to take the car out of reverse, he crossed the street and ran into a transformer and communication box, knocking out electricity and phone service to dozens of townhomes.

Nobody 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."

Investigators couldn't figure out how the boy reached the accelerator.

No charges will be filed.

"I have five children of my own, so I know you cannot watch them every minute they're awake," said nearby resident Nancy Hollis, whose power was knocked out by the accident.

I know AppleBee's is good but DAMN!

I know this isn't really supposed to be funny but damn. It's like a scene out of "Dennis the Menace" ...

You know what probably happened don't you...? You know how when kids are in another room eventually their mother calls out and says,

"Hon...what areyou doin' in there...?"

Well this time when somebody called out "Honey, whaddaya doing...?", this kid probably was like "Nonthin', Mommy, just going to Applebee's.."
and Mom had NO IDEA WHATSOEVER he has serious as a heart attack, meanwhile they're in another rooom like "OK, baby " folding laundry
