Who To Marry?

Found a forwarded email [09.16.06] and sorry to disappoint hopeless romantics but these are not from Dr. Phil or any professional therapist or educator or psychologist or whatever. These were answers by kids [i'll just insert my comments 'coz I can't help it, hehehehe] and we adults should listen to them. Realistic and innocent.

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 [boys will be boys]
  
• 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. - Kristen, age 10 [destiny?!]

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 [I should have married a year ago, sigh]
  
• No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. - Freddie, age 6 [woman-hater in the making.. or geek]
  

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 [hahahahaha!]

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

• Both don't want any more kids. - Lori, age 8 [omg!]

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 [smart kid]
  
• 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 [true]

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 [criminal mind at an early age]

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

• When they're rich. - Pam, age 7 [clap, clap, clap]
  
• The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. - Curt, age 7 [law abiding kiddo]
  
• 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 [who the fuck made that rule?!]

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 [wtf!]
  
• It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. - Anita, age 9 [well said]

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 [bravo!]

And the #1 Favourite is.........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

• Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck. - Ricky, age 10 [sad, but so true]
