Candy Bar Joyride Was a Premonition???

I guess when Owen decides to take a short hiatus from trouble, it's because he's been storing up for something really good.  I am still in shock from the story Peter just told me.  Luckily, Owen didn't think everything through.

Peter was downstairs balancing our checkbook when Vance came to him and said Owen and Elsa were in the car.  Peter said that was impossible because the car doors were locked.  Vance assured Peter that he wasn't make it up.  Peter goes upstairs and one of the bar stools is pushed to the wall that holds all of our keys.

In the garage, there are Owen and Elsa sitting in the car.  This means two things for Owen.  One, he knew which keys to grab (Explorer not Focus).  Maybe it was just luck.  And, two, he knew which button to unlock the doors.  I imagine Peter would have heard the horn blaring if Owen used the wrong button.

So, Peter tells them to get out.  What does Owen do?  He starts the car.  Are you fricking kidding me????  I almost had a heart attack at this point in the story because, even though I was talking to Peter and knew he got them out without any kind of incident, I imagined maybe Owen slipped it into reverse and backed out of the garage a bit.  Or worse, put it in drive and went through the garage wall.

No, luckily, Owen didn't think everything through and forgot to shut the door.  I know, right?  Rookie mistake.  Peter turned off the car, grabbed the kids, locked the doors, and, I imagine, hid the keys.

Owen is three years old.  He knows how to start a car.  This isn't funny anymore, is it?  I should be worried  :(
