The following are responses from a group of grade
school children when asked about dating and marriage.
|
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.
Camile, 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. Lynette,
age 8 On the first date, they 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 that 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. Janis, 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 would
sure 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
