Mars/Venus From The Eyes of Kids

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)

(1) 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

(2) 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

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

(1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. -- Camille, age 10

(2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. -- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

(1) 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?

(1) Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

(1) 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 (isn't she a treasure?)

(2) 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 (Mrs. Laz never learned that one).

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

(1) 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?

(1) When they're rich. -- Pam, age 7

(2) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. -- Curt, age 7

(3 ) 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?

(1 ) 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

(2 ) It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

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

(1 ) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? -! - Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is.....

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

(1 ) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck. -- Ricky, age 10

If you promise to cut out all the right-wing studd then I am a fan for life!! I promise!! I know that I will never be the smarterest or most articulatest person on the blog but I have always enjoyed your writing......does this mean I am a lock for an IPOD????

Do you want the 20 or 30 gig one? And that was a very articulate answer, too. Say hello to Bovers. He wrote and said he would rather have a partially frozen standing rib roast instead of the ipod.

So much wisdom, so few cumulative years. Refreshing stuff.

Nicholas, I found it rather Freudian that you wrote "Right Wing Studd." Is that really what you think I am, a studd?

Perhaps it was freudian or perhaps it was because I got my mothers fat fingers!! Don't worry about the Ipod!! I already have a beautiful pink one and I would then have to give it to Lavender!!! Just forget about the right wing rhetoric and remember that everyone deserves a fair shot no matter where they were born!!

Unless they were born in Iran?

Looks to me like humor gets more comments...just an observation.

There's a lot of pressure in writing humor all the time. Can I take a cheap shot at a politician every now and again?
