Questions concerning love and wisdom were posed to a group of children
(ages 5 to 10). Their responses were amazingly astute and very
enlightening, thus proving that all we
need to know, we probably learned in kindergarten. (I don't know where
this came from, but I thought it was
cute..if you know will you please email
me and let me know too??)
WHAT IS THE PROPER AGE TO
GET MARRIED?
"Eighty-four. Because at that age, you don't have to
work anymore, and
you can spend all your time loving each other in your bedroom."
(Judy, 8)
"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife."
(Tommy,5)
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A
DATE?
"On the first date, they just tell each other lies,
and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date."
(Mike, 10)
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS
SOMEONE?
"You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough
bucks
to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have
videos of the wedding."
(Jim, 10)
"Never kiss in front of other people. It's a big embarrassing thing if
anybody sees you. But if nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it
with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours."
(Kally, 9)
THE GREAT DEBATE:
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
"It's better for girls to be single, but not for
boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them."
(Lynette, 9)
"It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I
don't need that kind of trouble."
(Kenny, 7)
CONCERNING WHY LOVE HAPPENS
BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE:
"No oneis sure why it happens, but I heard it has
something to do with

LIKE:
"Like an avalanche where you have to run for your
life."

"If falling in love is anything like learning to spell, I don't want to
do it. It takes too long to learn."
(Leo, 7)
ON THE ROLE OF GOOD LOOKS IN
LOVE AND ROMANCE:
"If you want to be loved by somebody who isn't
already in your family, it doesn't hurt to be beautiful."
(Jeanne, 8)
"It isn't always just how you look. Look at me. I'm handsome like
anything and I haven't got anybody to marry me yet."
(Gary, 7)
"Beauty is skin deep. But how rich you are can last a long time."

CONCERNING WHY LOVERS OFTEN
HOLD HANDS:

CONFIDENTIAL OPINIONS ABOUT
LOVE:
"I'm in favor of love as long as it doesn't happen
when 'The Simpsons' are on TV."

trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me."
(Bobby, 8)
"I'm not rushing into being in love. I'm finding fourth grade hard
enough."
(Regina, 10)

even if you have tons of love, there is still going to be a lot of
bills."
(Ava, 8)
SOME SUREFIRE WAYS TO MAKE A
PERSON FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU:
"Tell them that you own a whole bunch of candy
stores."

attention, but attention ain't the same thing as love."

likes to eat. French fries usually works for me."

Other people care more about the food,"
(Brad, 8)
"It's love if they order one of those desserts that are on fire. They
like to order those because it's just like their hearts are on fire."
(Christine, 9)
WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE
THINKING WHEN THEY
