Amongst all the depressing stories in the world, this one brought a big smile to my face. It’s the story of 2 German kids, Mika and Anna-Lena, aged 7 and 6.
The two are very much in love, and decided to skip all the expensive and time consuming work involved with a big wedding and just elope to Africa.
On the first day of 2009, the kids left with Anna-Lena’s little sister, Anna-Bell and walked to the tram station.
Once they arrived at Hanover central train station, their plans were foiled by police who were probably a little suspicious of 3 young kids waiting for a train to the airport.
Once the police officer managed to convince the lovers that air travel requires a passport, real money and a plane ticket, they were given a tour of the police headquarters while they waited for their parents to come pick them up.
I’m hoping these lovers keep their plans intact, and manage to take that romantic trip when they reach a more responsible age.
