Love and Marriage From a Child's Perspective

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?

"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

"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

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 make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns."
Craig, age 9

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?

"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

"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

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

"Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck."
Ricky, age 10




Sorry folks......it was too cute to pass up. Enjoy! :D

Thanks for the post. I was laughing here at work when someone walked by and wanted to know what was so funny!

I especially like the part about getting married when you're 23...by these standards I'll be an old maid in a month!

I love those quotes from kids. It's an excerpt from "Kids say the darndest things".

Thats SO cute!!!!!! Especially the last one and the kid who doesnt want to have sex with his wife....awwwwwwwww, what cuties :)

This is one of the funniest to me.........it's like.....hey, my life!!! Sometimes I can't even keep the names straight in an all out war in my house. Call everyone by each other names and even the dog gets included sometimes.........hahaha!

As much as I doubt they really came from kids...those were pretty cute.

Aphasia, it is/was a television show. "Kids Say The Darndest" things, or something like that. I don't know if it's scripted, I have heard some outlandish chatter from the children in my family.

I remember the show (though I did hear that it was fairly scripted), but are those quotes from it? That wasn't the impression I got, but I may've missed it. I have heard my (much) younger brothers say some pretty out there things, but some of those sounded a bit on the fake side - like things adults would make up about kids saying, because other adults would think they were cute, not things that kids would actually say.

yea, it did, didn't it? perhaps it is so. but either way, those were great. it ust kinda makes you wonder, though.... if they really WERE from kids, what are they getting this from/ who's teaching them some of those things? like the negative responses, mostly...... i don't mean to throw cold water on the humor, but it's just something to think about....

The comments are very cute, but as I thought about them, I too wondered where they might have come up with the ideas.

Not getting married cause he doesn't want to have sex with his wife.....at least it was his wife. But, he seems young to be informed on such things. Or lying ot each other.....again too young to be aware of such thing.

But, it's all over TV and movies and even in some schools......not ot mention thier parents, brothers and sisters. What happened to innocent childhood!? Kinda sad to me, I guess.

Kids have radars for ears. They hear EVERYTHING. I suppose that is where alot of it came from.
