Finding Direction: The Wind Vane Chronicles

[Note:  As several of you commenters pointed out Friday, my economic genius wasn't such a genius after all when it comes to bailing out Wall Street or the rest of us, either.  So, I decided today to go with the REAL experts on the important things in life - kids.  You know . . . if we had kids running this country instead of politicians, I think we might be much better off.  I know that my own three kids were always a whole lot smarter growing up than I was.  For that matter, they still are!

Y'all enjoy this today.  It's better than reading the news, for sure.  Dee]

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

*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.
– 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, 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?
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 first 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 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 (Just LOVE this one!)

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 truck.
