From the mouth of a child

I was amused today as I found a fantastic site with interesting quotes of childrens sayings, I thought I'd post them on here to amuse anyone else who think 'kids say the darndest things'. The comments in italics are mine.

How do you decide who to marry?
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 mum 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 (Fantastic word of wisdom, listen to this one)

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 (As far as my knowledge goes this appears to be true of many people)

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 (Just imagine him ringing in the morning to ask "Have you put me in the dead column?")

When is it okay to kiss someone?
When they're rich.
Pam, age 7 (Unfortunately I know some people who'd agree with this one)

The law says you have to be 18, 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 (Good morals)

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 (Children are not as ignorant as many believe)

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

And lastly,

How would you make a marriage work?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
Ricky, age 10
