Marriage Advice ...

[Betty Boop]

When my oldest was born 22 years ago, my mother would hold her and just like any other granny "coo" and do the granny-thing. She would then comment how "Laurel was born with the wisdom of ages - just look into those eyes." As years have passed and I am getting closer to granny-hood, I realize that mom was right - that babies are born with the wisdom of ages and then we fill their heads with facts and the wisdom is lost until much later when as we forget the facts the wisdom reappears. So this morning when this crossed my desktop I chuckled. As Art Linkletter used to say, "Kids say the darnedest things." SP this should help you in your "When to meet the parents" decision-making process. Listen to the children's wisdom!

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids).


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 (Attaboy Alan)

No person really decides before they grow up who they'r e 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, a ge 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 fir st 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


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 dump truck.

Perfect advice

[Hooch Turner]

The only advice I could have done with before I got married was:

"Run Forest, RUN"

Thank the maker for DIVORCE, I sleep better at nights now as a single man than I ever did whilst being married!

[Betty Boop]

Hooch, is one supposed to sleep when one is married ? LOL

Betty makes a mental note, "Run Forest, RUN!" You'd have thought that piece of info would have been included with the rest in the pre-primer Fun with Dick and Jane books.

Hey as soon I placed the ring on her finger, sleeping is all she ever fek'n did! Got so bad I used to take a bottle of Head Ache tablets to bed with me for her also?

Kelvin is wise for 8!

[Betty Boop]

I don't know Snow - with all the sleeping going on, I don't see where the kids are coming from!

Hooch, I checked the pre-primers. There it is in the second pre-primer - on the page that has Sally with Spot. Sally says, "See Spot run." Sally then says, "Run Spot run." Sorry, we were prewarned but must have skipped those two titilating pages! Sally was a blond, could explain why her wisdom was soooooooooooooooo ignored.
