Too cute

I don't always enjoy reading the news. There's so much doom and gloom. But today, the BBC made me rethink my anti-news-reading position, by publishing the cutest news story ever:


Apparently two German kids, ages six and seven, decided they wanted to elope to Africa, and got as far as their local train station before anyone noticed. They even brought along their maid of honor, the bride's five-year-old sister. According to the article, the police managed to convince them that without passports or money, it would be hard to get to Africa, but gave them a tour of the police station to make up for it. The police spokesman was even nice enough to say that maybe when they're older, they can try again. If that's not cute, I don't know what is. Here's to the power of love.
