From the MUD VAULT: Kids on Dating and Marriage

[Muddy]

Here's what the little ones have to say:

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

(written by children)

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

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

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 (isn't she a treasure)

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?

It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone

to clean up after them.

-- Anita , age 9 (bless you child)

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 ( just LOVE this one)

And the #1 Favorite is........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

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

-- Ricky , age 10

I think I would run away and play dead, especially if my wife looked like a truck.
