Not a modern-day fairy tale.

No wolf could stop these kids.

Two preschoolers on a mission to visit their grandma took the keys to their parents’ SUV on Tuesday morning, only to crash into another car, police in Washington state say.

The 3-year-old and 5-year-old managed only to reach an intersection near their house in Federal Way when they T-boned a Volvo.

Neighbors said they heard a loud crash and rushed out to see what happened.

“I held the kids both in their hands and I said, ‘Where’s your mom?’ [They said], ‘Sleeping. I want to go to my grandma’s house,’” Annemarie Warren recalled to KOMO News. “I was waiting for the mother to come out, too, you know?”

The driver of the Volvo had minor cuts and bruises. The kids were unharmed.

Police did not say whether the parents would face charges, according to KOMO News.
