7-year-old takes car to avoid church

PLAIN CITY, Utah - Police in Utah say a 7-year-old boy led officers on a car chase in an effort to avoid going to church.
Dispatchers received reports of a child driving recklessly on Sunday morning. Weber County Sheriff's Capt. Klint Anderson says one witness said the boy drove through a stop sign
Anderson says two deputies caught up with the boy and tried unsuccessfully to stop the Dodge Intrepid in an area about 45 miles north of Salt Lake City. The car reached 40 mph before the boy stopped in a driveway and ran inside a home.
Anderson says when the boy's father later confronted him, the boy said he didn't want to go to church. The boy is too young to prosecute and no citations were issued, although police did urge the father to make his car keys more inaccessible to children.
Boy, do I feel this kid's pain. When I was that age I would have tried just about anything to miss out on another teeth-pullingly boring edition of Second Baptist Church service. And this was in Utah where people really get a kick out of church so I imagine it'd be unbearable. In times like these I think it's wise to remember the words of one Homer Simpson. "If God wanted one hour of my week, he should have made the week one hour longer."
I'm sure this kid was apologetic afterward but if he really wants to make a stand against going to church he needs to put his foot down and go hood rat style. It's not WWJD? It's WWLD? What Would Latarian Do?
