Never too early........

I just had to laugh at these 7 & 6 yr old German kids who professed to be deeply in love and wanted to get married. They were trying to elope to Africa (it's warmer there...) on New year's Day and even tried to bring along a witness (a 5 yr old sister). They had packed their swimsuits, sunglasses and a lilo, ahhh, how sweet.

Apparently the 3 kids walked 1km to the local tram station and got to the main train station at a nearby city so they could get to the airport. One of the train guards got suspicious and called the cops on them. The kids had no tickets and money, dang it, but the police gave them a free tour of the police station (should maybe have kept the cheeky monkeys in the cells a bit longer, eh?). The parents arrived to pick them up later. Wonder how mortified and embarrassed they were?

In future years, will these kids recall and laugh about their escapade, or will their parents nag them so much about it they'll be put off for life? Will they ever get married to each other? Will they ever make it to Africa?

Answers on a postcard :D
