Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
Happy Friday – it’s hot here, not that that is unusual in any way. In fact, it’s getting to the point that I am not sure what it was like when it wasn’t hot and sweaty and humid outside and when the heat didn’t slug you with a closed fist. The heat is positively roasting at the moment – I would be surprised if I couldn’t fry an egg on the sidewalk.
Because hot days are like bad days and you need something cool and sweet to lighten the load, here’s a few funny things that kids have had to say over the years about marriage and the condition thereof.
Kids Say the Darndest Things
- 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.
- 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.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON? Both don’t want any more kids.
- 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.
- WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE? When they’re rich.
- 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, I don’t know which is better, but I’ll tell you one thing. I’m never going to have sex with my wife. I don’t want to be all grossed out
- 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?
- HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck.
