likes the same stuff.

should like it that you like
sports, and she should keep
the chips and dip
coming."

them to get to know each other.
Even boys have
something to say if you listen
long enough."Lynnette, age 8.

tell each other lies, and
that usually gets them interested
enough to go for a
second date."
Martin, age 10

want to be all grossed out. " Theodore, age 8
"It's better for girls to be
single but not for boys.
Boys need someone to clean
up after them."Anita, age 9

Of course, if I did get married,
I'd just phone my mother and
have her come over for some
coffee and diaper-changing." Kirsten, age 10
