Tips on Love - From the Mouths of Babes


The following advice comes from kids 5-10 years old.

Q: What is falling in love like?
“Like an avalanche where you have to run for your life.” (Roger, 9)
“If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.” (Leo, 7)

Q: 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.” (Mike, 10)

Q: What is the proper age to get married?
“Eighty-four, because at that age, you don’t have to work anymore, and you can spend all your time loving each other in your bedroom.” (Judy, 8)

Q: Is it better to be single or married?
“It’s better for girls to be single, but not for boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them.” (Lynette, 9)
“It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I’m just a kid, I don’t need that kind of trouble.” (Kenny, 7)

Q: On the role of good looks in love.
“If you want to be loved by somebody who isn’t already in your family, it doesn’t hurt to be beautiful.” (Jeanne, 8)
“Beauty is skin deep. But how rich you are can last a long time.” (Christine, 9)

Q: The personal qualities necessary to be a good lover.
“One of you should know how to write a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is still going to be a lot of bills.” (Ava, 8)

Q: Surefire ways to make a person fall in love with you.
“One way is to take the girl out to eat. Make sure it’s something she likes to eat. French fries usually works for me.” (Bart, 9)
“Just see if the man picks up the check. That’s how you can tell if he’s in love.” (John, 9)
“Lovers will just be staring at each other and their food will get cold. Other people care more about the food.” (Dave, 8)

Q: What most people are thinking when they say “I love you.”
“The person is thinking: ?Yeah, I really do love him. But I hope he showers at least once a day.” (Michelle, 9)

Q: How to make love endure.
“Spend most of your time loving instead of going to work.” (Tom, 7)
“Don’t forget your wife’s name … That will mess up the love.” (Roger, 8)
“Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash.” (Randy, 8)

I like the last one - be a good kisser -- We wives might even forget about the trash!
