"If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long." (Leo, 7)

 

"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife." (Tom, 5)

"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." (Mike, 9)

"It isn't always just how you look. Look at me, I'm handsome like anything and I haven't got anybody to marry me yet." (Gary, 7)

"After eating dinner, just see if the man picks up the check. That's how you can tell if he's in love." (John, 9)

"Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I have been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me." (Bobby, 8)

 "Never kiss in front of other people. It's a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you. But if nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours." (Kally, 9)

"Lover's hold hands because they want to make sure their rings don't fall off because they paid good money for them." (Dave, 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." (Jan, 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." (Harlen, 8)

"Falling in love is like an avalanche where you have to run for your life." (Roger, 9)

"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, 10)

"To make someone fall in love with you, tell them that you own a whole bunch of candy stores." (Del, 6)

"It's never okay to kiss a boy. They always slobber all over you...that's why I stopped doing it." (Jean, 10)

"If you want to be loved by somebody who isn't already in your family, it doesn't hurt to be beautiful." (Jeanne, 8)

"Beauty is skin deep. But how rich you are can last a long time." (Christine, 9)

"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, 9)

"I'm not rushing into being in love. I'm finding fourth grade hard enough." (Regina, 10)

 "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, 8)

"You learn to love right on the spot when the gooshy feelings get the best of you." (Doug, 7)

"Spend most of your time loving instead of going to work." (Tom, 7)

"To learn to kiss it might help to watch soap operas all day." (Carin, 9)

"Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash." (Randy, 8)

"The proper age to get married is eighty-four because at that age, you don't have to work anymore, and you can spend all your time loving each other in your bedroom." (Judy, 8)

Remember when being in love was silly? When we fought over crayons and books, not sex and cheating. Let's never forget who we were back then when holding hands meant you were married and dandelions were bouquets of sweet love. And perhaps if we jump back to those moments of innocence, we can learn to love again.
