From A Kid’s Perspective Be careful what you ask a child. You never know what the answer may be. 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.   
--  Kristen, 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 
 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 (Isn't  she a treasure?) 

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   

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?    
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 last but not least...   

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? 
Tell  your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck.
--  Ricky, age 10

Maxine  Last night my sister and I were sitting in the den and I said to her, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. That would be no quality of life at all. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.” So she got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine. She’s such a bitch.

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed him to hear 100%. He went back a month later to the doctor and the doctor said, “Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.” The gentleman replied, “Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times already!”
