HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM 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

I especially like the first one about marrying someone who likes the same sports and keeps the chips and dips coming. Basis for a good marraige I'd say.

There's not a chance any of that was said by the kids with those ages. Funny anyway :-) Still, there is the classic tv clip when a girl was asked about her favourite biblical story:

Girl - "It's the one when Jesus turns the water into wine"
Adult - "And what do we learn from that miracle?"
Girl - "When you run out of wine you gotta get on your knees and pray"

Agree with Bobby, never in a million years would these come from kids that age.

Reminds me of the time a 'clever' psychologist was trying to get my autistic son to talk to him. He wasn't in the slightest bit interested, so knowing that my son had been on a teddy bears picnic he asked him what teddy had done today. My son picked up the teddy and held it to his face. "Teddy says p*** off!" was his reply. I couldn't have put it better myself! The whole family now call Teddy Sheringham "P*** off Teddy".
