I got a funny email from a friend at work today. Excerpts are below. DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed here are not my own, although they are funny.

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

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

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 MUM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

"Both don't want any more kids."
-- Lori, age 8

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."
-- Martin, age 10

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."

that's awesome. sometimes i feel like a truck. audrey's friend was over today and said, "your mom has a big bottom." thanks. :)

please, leslie has the world's smallest bottom. those kids are pretty funny, though. they are also pretty right on about a lot of things. there would be a lot of kids to explain if no one got married.
