Want to start your day smiling? Read what these kids have to say about the idea of falling in love.
Sent in to GreatDad.com these responses are hilarious and way more sophisticated than my thoughts at these ages…
Glenn, age 7
“If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.”
“Love is like an avalanche where you have to run for your life.”
John, age 9
“I think you’re supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn’t supposed to be so painful.”
Manuel, age 8
“No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That’s why perfume and deodorant are so popular.”
Mae, age 9
“Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too.”
Greg, age 8
“Once I’m done with kindergarten, I’m going to find me a wife.” -
Tom, age 5
“I’m in favor of love as long as it doesn’t happen when Dinosaurs is on television.”
Jill, age 6
“One of the people has freckles, and so he finds somebody else who has freckles too.”
Andrew, age 6
“My mother says to look for a man who is kind. That’s what I’ll do. I’ll find somebody who’s kinda tall and handsome.”
Carolyn, age 8
“It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I’m just a kid. I don’t need that kind of trouble.”
Kenny, age 7
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, age 8
“When somebody’s been dating for a while, the boy might propose to the girl. He says to her, ‘I’ll take you for a whole life, or at least until we have kids and get divorced.’”
Anita, age 9
“I’m not rushing into being in love. I’m finding fourth grade hard enough.”
Regina, age 10
“Most men are brainless, so you might have to try more than once to find a live one.”
Angie, age 10
“A man and a woman promise to go through sickness and illness and diseases together.”
Marlon, age 10
“[Being] 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 figure something out. I’d just phone my mother and have her come over for some coffee and diaper-changing.”
Kirsten, age 10
“Love is foolish…but I still might try it sometime.”
Floyd, age 9
“Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me.”
Dave, age 8
You go Regina! I love her wisdom about getting through the fourth grade first. For me, nothing was more important than playing Red Rover, Red Rover. Not even Fred W. could woo me with his romantic overtures of meeting me at the bus every morning loaded down with Rainblo gum and Charleston Chews.
