6 & 7-year-olds caught trying to elope

LEIN

How cute is this?

Some imaginations for such young children!

Two childhood sweethearts, aged six and seven, eloped from Hanover in northern Germany on New Year's Eve, determined to tie the knot under the African sun.
Police said identified the pair as Mika and Anna-Lena and said they 'are very much in love and decided to get married in Africa where it is warm, taking with them as a witness Anna-Lena's little sister, aged five.'
The idea for the romantic trip began when Mika told the two girls about his recent holiday in Italy, while their families celebrated New Year's Eve together.


As the first dawn of 2009 broke, the trio started to put these plans into action, packing all the essentials for the journey, including 'sunglasses, swimming trunks, a lilo, summer clothes and provisions.'
While their parents slept, they left their house in the suburbs of Hanover, walked a kilometre up the road to a tram stop from where they took a tram for the central station.
Waiting for a train to the airport, they aroused the attention of a guard who contacted police.
Two officers managed to convince the young lovers that they would struggle to get to Africa without money or a plane ticket.
As a consolation, the children were given a special tour of the police headquarters at Hanover station where they were especially taken with the detention cells.
Their relieved parents picked them up from the station, the spokesman said, adding: 'They can still put their plan into action at a later date.'

Awh how cute is that!!

A friend of mine recently got married. He's 25 like myself, and I light-heartedly gave out to him that he did it all a bit soon and he should have a look around at all the lovely women who are off limits to him.

I wouldn't know what to say to that horny little 8 year old.

I can imagine the parents. "Don't you think its a bit early son? Don't you?"

Victor

Strangely enough, a friend did something similar at a young age - although not with the intention of getting married or travelling to Africa - up at 5am and went on a bit of a tour of the city.

Also German. I see a pattern.

One more reason not to have kids. Little fúcktards.

That's just brilliant

The parents might not see the cute side of this story at the moment. Yeh, they can put their plan into action after being grounded for a year...

The tender beginnings of their natural lebensraum urge.

How hungover do you need to be of a New Years morning to not notice three little kids getting all dressed up, packing lilos and whatnot and leaving the house?

Hank Scorpio

We're talking Germany here. Oktoberfest? I'd say new years there is a pretty good party.

Oktoberfest is in September/October. Different time of the year altogether. Easy mistake to make. :cool:

And there I thought it was just a name and that it was actually a year round celebration.

It ought to be.

I liked that part where they talked down locking the kids up in a cell

Damn parents tearing these two young lovers apart and not allowing them to live out their dreams and let their young fragile love develop and blossom into something beautiful. They're going to end up like Romeo and Juliet.........DEAD.

Or with a happier twist.....going their separate ways but finally love will conquer all like Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles

Someone still had to die though. Someone always has to die.

True but that 'story' is kind of like going off topic on a boards thread

Would've been funny when they contracted malaria.

It's really cute, but bizarre. How would kids that age understand the concept of eloping and needing a witness etc? Very strange.

Did anyone else think that this is just a PR way of saying they were arrested and thrown in Jail for the night?

My cousin's 4 year old informed me just before Christmas that 'relationships are just too complicated!'* :eek: - pity they didn't try bring her as a witness, would have saved them a trip!! She'd have talked them out of it in no time!!



*Yes, this particular four year old does have more sense than most people I know!! :rolleyes:

Of course they're idiots. They're 6 and 7. All kids are idiots anyway. Ever try to try to have a conversation with one about existentialism? They keep on about Kierkegaardian version when Nietzsche is clearly correct. Pah, idiots.
