Wisdom of Children

I owe this post to Papa Meetz.  I was searching through my email for something from my brother who just happens to have the same name as my dad and I stumbled upon this email I never read called "How do you decide who to marry?".  Intrigued as to why I never opened it and why my dad was sending me this I clicked on it.  Since my singleness and everyone else's... well non-singleness has recently been looming on me this seemed completely natural for a post. Plus... it's pretty funny.  I apologize for the incredible randomness of this post but I couldn't help it.

I found this post all over the Internet but couldn't really figure out the original source. If you know let me know so I can give them credit!

1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids) 

-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 

This little girl needs to be my future daughter

2. 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 

3. 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 

4. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MUM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON? 

Both don't want any more kids. 

-- Lori, age 8 

5. 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. 

-- Lynn ette, age 8 

{so wise beyond her years...} 

This little girls fashion sense is wise beyond her years...

-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 

6. 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 

So cute.

-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 

{whoops... broke that rule}

7. 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

8. 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 

{Amazing...}

And the #1 Favorite is....... 

9. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck.
