Kids know too much. Just the other day, the little shit of a six-year-old that I call my cousin managed to hack into my phone and change the passcode. Holding it hostage and not revealing the new code until I had bought her favorite sweets, I realised that she had me in the palm of her hands. Being bribed by a six-year-old, what is the world coming to?
That's nothing, though, compared to one little lad in Germany who stole a bloody bus while his passengers were none the wiser.

Would you Adam and Eve it, the 11-year-old boy managed to pick up three unaware passengers when he stole a bus and took it on a joyride through a German town.
The young lad, whose dreams of one day becoming a real bus driver, had apparently found the keys to the bus lying on the ground in a car park and kept hold of them.
When seeing the privately owned bus a few weeks later in the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt, the kid decided to take it for a spin.
Local police reports indicate that the boy then headed off down the street before pulling over to pick up passengers.
Like every joyride, the fun has to come to an end eventually. It was not until a man waiting for a bus saw the vehicle being driven recklessly that he noticed the little lad behind the wheel. The bus had also sustained some damage to its front.

Police stopped the boy from any further damage before handing him over to his mother, reports donaukurier.
When he was eventually caught by the local police, the youngster reportedly declared his love for buses and explained that he would like to be a bus driver one day.
"Fortunately, the bus ride went without causing major damage to the boy and other road users," said a police spokesman.
Officers are still investigating the cause of the damage to the front of the bus, which is estimated to cost €1,000 (£850) to repair. Perhaps it wasn't him!
