Kids point of view

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

   You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff.

   Like, if you like sports, she should like it that

   you like sports, and she should keep the chips and

   dip coming.

   --Alan, age 10

   No person really decides before they grow up who

   they're going to marry.

   God decides it all way before, and you get to find

   out later who you're stuck with.

  --Kirsten, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

   Twenty-three is the best age because you know the

   person FOREVER by then.

   --Camille, age 10

   No age is good to get married at. You got to be a

   fool to get married.

   --Freddie, age 6

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

   You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to

   be yelling at the same kids.

   --Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

   Both don't want any more kids.

   --Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

   Dates are for having fun, and people should use

   them to get to know each other. Even boys have

   something to say if you listen long enough.

   --Lynnette, age 8

   On the first date, they just tell each other lies,

   and that usually gets them interested enough to go

   for a second date.

   --Martin, age 10 (This is a smart kid!)

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

   I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would

   call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote

   about me in all the dead columns.

   --Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

   When they're rich.

   --Pam, age 7

   The law says you have to be eighteen, so I

   wouldn't want to mess with that.

   --Curt, age 7

   The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then

   you should marry them and have kids with them.

   It's the right thing to do.

   --Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

   I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you

   One thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I

   don't want to be all grossed out.

   --Theodore, age 8

   It's better for girls to be single but not for boys.

   Boys need someone to clean up after them.

   --Anita, age 9

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

   There sure would be a lot of kids to explain,

   wouldn't there?

   --Kelvin, age 8

   And finally........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

   Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she

   looks like a truck.

   -- Ricky, age 10
