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, age 8
"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife!"

-Tom, age 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."

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, age 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, age 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, age 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, age 7

Concerning Why Love Happens Between Two Particular People
"No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to
do with how you smell. That's why perfume and deodorant are so
popular."

something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful."

"One of the people has freckles and so he finds somebody else
who has freckles too."
-Andrew, age 6

On What Falling In Love Is Like
"Like an avalanche where you have to run for your life."
-Roger, age 9

"If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I
don't want to do it. It takes too long."
-Leo, age 7

On The Role Of Good Looks In Love
"If you want to be loved by somebody who isn't already in your
family, it doesn't hurt to be beautiful."
-Jeanne, age 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, age 7

"Beauty is skin deep. But how rich you are can last a long
time."
-Christine, age 9

Concerning Why Lovers Often Hold Hands
"They want to make sure their rings don't fall off because they
paid good money for them."
-Dave, age 8

"They are just practicing for when they might have to walk down
the aisle someday and do the holy matchimony thing."
-John, age 9

Confidential Opinions About Love
"I'm in favor of love as long as it doesn't happen when 'The
Simpsons' is on television."
-Anita, age 6

"Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I
have been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the
girls keep finding me."
-Bobby, age 8

"I'm not rushing into being in love. I'm finding fourth grade
hard enough."
-Regina, age 10

"Love is foolish ... but I still might try it sometime."

bills."

"Sensitivity don't hurt."
-Robbie, age 8

Some Surefire Ways To Make A Person Fall In Love With You

get attention, but attention ain't the same thing as love."
-Alonzo, age 9

"One way is to take the girl out to eat. Make sure it's
something she likes to eat. French fries usually works for me."
-Bart, age 9

"Yell out that you love them at the top of your lungs...and
don't worry if their parents are right there."
-Manuel, age 8

How Can You Tell If Two Adults Eating Dinner At A Restaurant Are
In Love?

"Just see if the man picks up the check. That's how you can
tell if he's in love."
-John, age 9

"Lovers will just be staring at each other and their food will
get cold. Other people care more about the food."
-Brad, age 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 how their
hearts are... on fire."
-Christine, age 9

"Romantic adults usually are all dressed up, so if they are
just wearing jeans it might mean they used to go out or they
just broke up."
-Sarah, age 9

"See if the man has lipstick on his face."
-Sandra, age 7

What Most People Are Thinking When They Say "I Love You"
"The person is thinking: Yeah, I really do love him. But I hope
he showers at least once a day."
-Michelle, age 9

"Some lovers might be real nervous, so they are glad that they
finally got it out and said it and now they can go eat."
