Matters of the Heart

Ah, Valentine's Day...the season for love, romance, and pretty poetry. Shakespeare knew a thing or two, but when it comes to matters of the heart, kids pretty much have it figured out.

I mean, who can argue with this sound logic...

Love and Marriage:

"Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too." -- Greg, age 8

"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

Kissing:

"You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." -- Jim, age 10

How People In Love Act:

"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

"See if the man picks up the check. That's how you can tell if he's in love." -- John, age 9

Strategies For Making People Fall In Love With You:

"Tell them that you own a whole bunch of candy stores." -- Del, age 6

"Don't do things like have smelly, green sneakers. You might get attention, but attention ain't the same thing as love." -- Alonzo, age 9

Good Advice About Love:
