1. Jonah pipes up. “Mom, you could use that stuff.”
   For a second there, I thought he meant “you could use that stuff (ie. the advertising blurb) [as blog fodder]. Now that truly would have been silvertongued.
   Sigh.

   HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)
   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
   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.

   WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
   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.

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

5. Parental advice. “those pants make you look thin, dear” – here is some other parental advice recently in the paper – the Daily News reported:
   First-daughter Caroline Kennedy (now Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg) was a healthily rebellious teenager, but the only thing that bothered her mother, Jackie Onassis, was her weight.
   “You’re not going to order dessert, Caroline,” Jackie O allegedly once sniped in a Paris restaurant, according to C. David Heymann’s “American Legacy: The Story of John & Caroline Kennedy.” “You’re much too fat. Nobody will ever want to marry you.”
   An intervention by stepdaughter Christina Onassis earned Caroline a helping of cherry-flavored Jell-O, but without whipped cream on top.
   “It’s strange,” a family pal, the late George Plimpton, allegedly told Heymann. “Jackie didn’t like it when John [Jr.] drank or did drugs, but she didn’t seem to care if Caroline got smashed on beer or stoned on grass. It was only when Caroline gained a pound or two that Jackie reacted.”
   And then there’s Damon Runyon: “One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to come up to you and show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not bet this man, for as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an earful of cider.”
   I’ve been sort of mulling advice for my kids. I like Runyon better than Onassis, that’s for sure! And I like Nietzsche better than Onassis, too: Marriage as a long conversation.— When entering a marriage, one should ask the question: do you think you will be able to have good conversations with this woman right into old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory, but most of the time in interaction is spent in conversation.
   See if I can sell THAT one to my hot-blooded youth!
