Out of the Mouth of Babes Part I

Kids are asked questions about marriage...and, OH! how they answered!!

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?

• "Married people usually look happy to talk to other people." Eddie, age 6
• "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 no 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
