"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
"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
"Married people usually look happy to talk to other people."
Eddie, 6
"You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling
at the same kids."
Derrick, age 8
"Both don't want no more kids."
Lori, age 8
"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
"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 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
"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after
them."
Anita, 9
"Single is better, for the simple reason that I wouldn't want to change no diapers. Of
course, if I did get married, I'd just phone my mother and have her come over for some
coffee and diaper-changing."
Kirsten, age 10
"There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?"
Kelvin, age 8
"You can be sure of one thing - the boys would come chasing after us just the same as
they do now."
Roberta, age 7
"Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a
truck."
Ricky, age 10
