KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS

QUESTIONS POSED TO CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES...AND WHAT THEIR ANSWERS WERE....lol

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.  ALLAN, AGE 10.

NOBODY REALLY DECIDES, BEFORE THEY GROW UP, WHO THEY'RE GONNA MARRY.  GOD DECIDES IT 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.

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 ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE.  EDDIE, AGE 6.

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO GUESS, BASED ON IF THEY SEEM TO BE YELLING AT THE SAME KIDS. ERIK, 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 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 EACHOTHER LIES.  THAT USUALLY GETS THEM INTERESTED ENOUGH TO GO FOR THE SECOND DATE.  MARTIN, AGE 10.

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 MADE SURE THEY WROTE ABOUT ME IN THE DEAD COLUMNS.  CRAIG, AGE 9.

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

WHEN THEY ARE 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, 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?  KEVIN, AGE 8
