Out of the mouths of my Babes...

Just to prove we do things by twos, check out the double yoked egg I cracked today. It's only the second time I've found one of these. Somedays it's the little things that bring a smile to my face.

I've always gotten a chuckle out of those emails that float around that ask random children questions and then display their really cute emails. I got one the other day that the answers seemed to funny to be from real kids. I copied the questions down and asked each of the questions to my kids, one on one so they wouldn't be influenced by the others or have time to think about the question (quite scientific huh?) Here's the questions and their answers.

How do you decide whom to marry?
Griffin-Find someone nice who encourages you and treats you with respect.
Owen-When you first see the right person, everyone else in the room gets dark and she will be in the light. You feel like you want to be really nice to her.
Kaylee-By praying and asking Heavenly Father. (AHHHH)
McKay-Pray and ask if he's the right guy to marry. (AHHH)

What is the right age to get married?
Griffin-25, it gives you enough time to find a woman, get back from your mission and you won't be too young.
Owen-21, I'll be home from my mission and then we'll date for a few months and then I'll ask her to marry me.
Kaylee-29, then you'll have the perfect house and your husband will thank you for the house.
McKay- Whenever you want.

How can a stranger tell if two people are married?
Griffin-They walk together and hold hands.
Owen-If you see them walking with a baby stroller, they're married.
Kaylee-When they walk out of a restaurant and hold hands and kiss, when they live in the same house.
McKay-If a girl buys boy stuff at the store, she's probably married.

What do you think your mom and dad have in common?
Griffin- That they love each other.
Owen- Their bad singing. (Hey!!!!!!)
Kaylee-They both choose the right and take care of us.
McKay-They both like to watch TV at night.

What do most people do on a date?
Griffin-Talk and at the very end kiss.
Owen-Eat dinner and kiss.
Kaylee-Hug, kiss and go out to restaurants.
McKay-Eat and kiss.

What would you do on a first date that was turning sour?
Griffin-I'd crawl out the bathroom window.
Owen-I'd say "Can we start all over, this is a bad day".
Kaylee-I'd tell my girlfriend that something was bad and then I'd tell the boy we need to stop dating but we can be friends. (See how young it starts, we all need a girlfriend to talk to)
McKay-I would order some pie and splash it in his face and say "I'm Out".

When is it okay to kiss someone?
Griffin-When you're married (great answer!)
Owen-17, you're old enough then.
Kaylee-18 but you need to be the same age as your boyfriend.
McKay-When they really do love you. (ahhhhh)

Is it better to be single or married?
Griffin-Married, so you won't be alone and you'll have lot's of money.
Owen-Married, because you'll always have a mate (MATE??) in your life, two heads are better than one.
Kaylee-Single, so you won't have a lot of noise around and you won't waste electricity and no one would leave doors open (Steve's weakness). If you only have one car, no one else would drive it. (what a wonderful view of married life)
McKay-Married, if your husband has more money then that would be good and you could buy more food for your kids.

How would the world be different if people didn't get married?
Griffin-Girls and boys wouldn't be friends.
Owen-People would be lonely and they'll be more grouchy.
Kaylee-You'll see men walking around with no women and they would feel sad.
McKay-It would be all girls and you would miss seeing boys and you wouldn't get to go on dates.

How would you make your marriage work?
Griffin-I'd be nice to her, be good by encouraging her and take her on dates.
Owen-I'd be nice to her and say nice things like "I like your hair today" (ahhhh), I'd never yell at her or hit her (good to know).
Kaylee-I would tell my husband that he could have all the money and I'd take care of him while he's sick.
McKay-Get alot of cute decorations to make your house the best, I would let him do whatever he wants and I'd do it with him.

What a great idea to ask your kids those questions. I'll have to try it out. Today Ash came home saying that a boy had a crush on her and that he said she was "hot". She said "I don't think I'm hot, just cute." This is starting too young! How do they even know what hot means?
