Here You go Capt. Mike, information to pass down to your Grandaughter, Compiled by Kids for Kids.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

( 1 ) 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

( 2 ) 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.
-- Kirsten, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

( 1 ) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10

( 2 ) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
-- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

( 1 ) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

( 1 ) Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

( 1 ) 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.
-- Lynnette, age 8

( 2 ) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

( 1 ) 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.
-- Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

( 1 ) When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7

( 2 ) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
-- Curt, age 7

( 3 ) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

( 1 ) I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out.
-- Theodore, age 8

( 2 ) It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

( 1 ) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

( 1 ) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
-- Ricky, age 10

Aw, Mike!

I once even got a speeding ticket getting home to my new baby (he's an old baby now, very old baby), only to have my wife snatch him away, "Whaddya know about babies?  Give him to me!", who then got from my mother, "I know how to hold a baby, give him to me!", who in turn got picked on my her mother in law, my grandma, snatching the poor kid to herself, "I know the most about handling babies, give him to me!!"  Well, suffice it to say, I didn't get to hold the little booger as much as I'd like to have, but when I did, it was a GRAND feeling.  (If I were to pick him up now, I'd be laid up in a hospital.)

Oh, and you're absolutely right, they fit right on your forearm.  Boy I truly miss those days, when they could fit on your forearm; and that felt good, too... even after you feel this weird vibration from the butt area.  But I don't miss having to clean and change "rear chassis filters" (term filched from a greeting card I saw somewhere).

Congrats to my fellow old farts.  May we all buy the grandkids noisy toys to send home to their parents with.  Pretty little girl.

But Mike, the missus just ordered my all new DNA scanomatic and the genital testing system.  It will take a couple of weeks to get it there,and then she'll have to assemble it.  It is top of the line ACME material, though.  So, the instructions only require two engineers to assemble it.
