Listening to the kids

This week I had one child pitching thumbtacks across the table, another threw a glob of wet papier-mache goo into his "sweetie"'s hair, and all the regular stuff that goes with teaching. Then I found these, and remembered that I really do love working with kids more often than not.......

"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

"You have to fall in love before you get married. Then when you're married, you just sit around and read books together."

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."

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

"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."

"Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash."

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

"Don't forget your wife's name... that will mess up the love."
