Kids Views on Relationships

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. - 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 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

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
 
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
 
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck. - Ricky, age 10

When my father passed away recently, my oldest son 8, asked his granny, if he could have Pawpaw's insoles? He followed that with, "Pawpaw won't need them, your feet never hurt in Heaven." My mother thought it was the sweetest thing.

While trying to keep the Christmas focus on Jesus' Birthday instead of Santa and presents, my husband and I were explaining to our three and a half year old, that we celebrate Jesus' gift of love by giving to others at Christmas.  Our precious little girl went straight to her room and picked up her favorite doll, came back and said "Here mommy, give this to Jesus for Christmas, and tell him I'd like a baby that cries this year."

I have a precious 4 year old daughter named Kelsey and the other day we adopted a male cocker spaniel (adorable little dog).  I was bathing my daughter in the bath tub when suddenly the dog came running in, my daughter started screaming to the top of her lungs - "No mama, he can not come in!!"  "But honey, I answered, he is only a dog!"  "But mom, he is a BOY!!, and I am naked!"

We were visiting a new church, and they happened to have a speaker that night.  Aerial, our five year old can barely see over the pews up to the stage where the speaker is praying.  She notices he is finnished, and the entire church is silent.  Then the pastor, who is sitting down in a chair behind the man who is standing there speaking at the pulpit begins speaking.  (Aerial cannot see him).  Her eyes grew to about the size of half dollars, and she turned to me and asked, "IS That GOD Talking MOMMY?"  

My 4 year old daughter and I were listening to a Christian radio station while driving in the car.  The man on the radio said that some people only call on God when they are in desperate need.  My daughter looked at me and said, " I didn't know God had a phone, can I call Him too?"  I had some explaining to do, now she understands that we talk to God through our Prayers, anytime, anywhere.

My daughter, then 7, had received a heart shaped box of candy from her nana for valentines day. Her brother and 2 cousins had received the same gift. She left her box of candy at nana's for several days and when we finally went to pick it up...she looked in it to find that all but one piece was gone. She looked at me and slammed the lid on the box and said..."Those Chocoholics!!! ate all my candy!" 

While trying to serve our two year old a vegetable she didn't like at the dinner table, she boldly stood straight up in her high chair and proclaimed to everyone in the family, "I go OUTSIDE!"  And she had every intention of leaving the house.  I think it was the spinach.

During a summer meeting with my 5 year old son's new Kindergarten teacher,  the teacher said to him - "Do you know what this color is?"  (Holding up a tan colored marker.)   My son answered, "No..."  The teacher replied, "This color is called Tan."  Then my son perked up and delightedly answered, "Oh yeah, my mommy wants to get one of those!"

When my daughter Michelle was 4, we were watching a program on TV and they were dancing the Macarena, and she tells me, "Mommy, I know how to do that!!  Watch me do the MACARONI !! "  What ever the dance was, she could do it, and I had tears running down my face.

My daughter is in her first softball season.  One of my friends asked her what position she liked playing best, pitcher? catcher? 1st base? My precious little Danielle just looked at her with a smile on her face and said "Batter" ~ gotta love that little angel!

My stepdaughter, Melissa, is the kind of person who blurts out the first thing that enters her mind. One day, when she was about 11, my wife and I were helping her make a model volcano for class. We were up to our ears in plaster and paper maché. As is often the case, Patty and I disagreed on a certain procedure so we were giving poor Melissa conflicting directions. Finally she threw up her hands in frustration and said, "Please! Two horses can't teach a calf!" It made perfect sense to her, but my wife and I are still trying to figure it out.

When out for dinner with my son one evening we had ordered a very flaky apple strudel for dessert.  He eyed it appreciatively before taking a bite.  A questioning look came into his eye as he said "This is really good, Mom, but why do they serve it with cardboard?"
