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.

Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.

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.

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that Usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.

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.

When my oldest was 8, I was walking her to school one morning when she said "mum, what was school like for you when you was my age?
I thought for a moment & said "well, I suppose it was pretty much the same for me then as it is for you now.
She looked at me & said in all innocence "I can just imagine you sitting there with your gas mask on"

At 23 I Was I made to feel old????

Will, Thanks, that was funny.

It is so refreshing to see things from a child's perspective. They are so brutally honest! Can't imagine being a teacher those first few years-I am sure they all could write a book!

When I went to law school, my youngest, Eric, was 6 years old. We were studying legal ethics in class and discussed a hypothetical situation to analyze the ethical elements of it. Here it is.

Five men were trapped in a mine which had caved in. Word came from the surface that it would take time to get them out and that the oxygen in the cave was only enough for 4 people to survive. The questions of ethics: if one of the men killed himself to save the others, is suicide ethical? And is it ethical for the other 4 to allow it to happen for their own preservation? Is it ethical for 4 of the men to kill one of the group to save the others? If so, which one should be killed?

Man #1 is old. His wife has died and his children live far away and not part of his life. He has no family and is alone. Man #2 is a worthless human with no redeeming traits. Man #3 is very young, has no family or wife and no responsibilities. Man #4 beats his wife and spends all of his money in bars. Man #5 is heavily insured and his family would be cared for better if he died than if he remained alive.

Dinner at my house was a time for discussions and my kids were not allowed to read books or watch television. One night I threw out the hypothetical question for discussion. Tony and big brother, Jason, and I discussed all of the issues and Eric sat quietly listening to us. But we could see his little wheels turning. Finally, I asked his opinion on the ethics question. He paused and then said very seriously, ?I would kill two just to make sure.? Out of the mouth of babes! LOL Maggie
