Kids say

"They act mooshy. Like puppy dogs, except puppy dogs don’t wag their tails nearly as much." — Arnold, age 10
"All of a sudden, the people get movies fever so they can sit together in the dark." — Sherm, age 8
"Romantic adults usually are all dressed up, so if they are just wearing jeans it might mean they used to go out or they just broke up." — Sarah, age 9
"It’s love if they order one of those desserts that are on fire. They like to order those because it’s just like how their hearts are — on fire." — Christine, age 9

"You might have to guess based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids." — Derrick, age 8
Deciding Who 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." — Allan, 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

"Sensitivity don’t hurt." — Robbie, age 8
"Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash." — Erin, age 8
"Don’t say you love somebody and then change your mind. Love isn’t like picking what movie you want to watch." — Natalie, age 9

Haha! It’s funny to know what kids are having in their small heads. I wish I were them, my big head is starting to make me unreasonable, sometimes lol!
Yup, I agree with you, Ve. It is funny to know how “simple” kids view this life, but sometimes it is true. Right?
