My parents in law are are known as Opa and Oma and they're 93 and 90 respectively. Last Sunday Opa went off to the shops to get the paper. On his way out he saw a youth out the front of their place sitting, head in hands, on the pavement. He had left the front door slightly ajar. He returns from the shops to have Oma call to him to see what she had just discovered. A young man fast asleep in their bed. Oh dear what did they decide to do. Oma says, "he must be tired, let's go to Church and see if he is still there when we get back." Sure enough he is still fast asleep in their bed. Later in the morning one of their sons come to visit, wakes the young man up and off he goes muttering his apologies and how he never should have done this. It had my husband and I concerned for their safety, our kids thought it was the best Oma and Opa story ever and it says something about trust and people who have lived through it all and were not particularly phased by this unusual happening. Oma's specialility is porrige, it's a wonder she didn't offer him some.
