I was given the following quotes from various children by a friend of mine... I have no idea where he got them from, (they're probably apocryphal) but they are just so funny, I had to share...Q1. How do you decide who to marry?
Kristen (Age 10) - No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all the way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
Alan (Age 10) - You've 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 dips coming.
Q2. What is the right age to get married?
Camille (Age 10) - Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
Q3. How can a stranger tell if two people are married?
Derrick (Age 8) - You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
Q4. What do you think your mum and dad have in common?
Lori (Age 8) - Both don't want any more kids.
Q5. What do most people do on a date?
Lynnette (Age 8) - 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.
Martin (Age 10) - On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
Q6. When is it ok to kiss someone?
Pam (Age 7) - When they're rich.
Curt (Age 7) - The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
Howard (Age 6) - 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.
Q7. Is it better to be single or married?
Anita (Age 9) - It's better for girls to be single but nor for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
Q8. How would the world be different if people didn't get married?
Kelvin (Age 8) - There would be a lot of kids wondering who owned them, wouldn't there?
Q9. How would you make a marriage work?
Ricky (Age 10) - Tell your wife that she looks good, even if she looks like a dump truck.
Derrick and Ricky seem to be the most astute, and then we've all met girls like Pam .....
ReplyDeleteAs a former primary school teacher I would definitely say that the comments are apocryphal.
ReplyDeleteGievn that I've heard a 10-year old in the US say almost exactly what Alan said, I'd guess that they're more-or-less real - but American.
ReplyDeleteRicky will make a wonderful husband... if he doesn't marry Anita who seems to be wise beyond her nine years of age.
ReplyDeleteQ.8 made me rather sad because it is too often true.
