A Little Humor to Get You Through Your Week..
I came across a list of questions that were asked to a group
of 5 to 10 year old children about their feelings on love. I want to point out
that it’s scary that some of these kids are so wise to be so young, but I
promise you’ll also get a really kick out of some of these responses! I
highlighted my absolute favorite ones. Leave a comment and let me know which
ones are your favoritesJ

Questions concerning
love and wisdom were posed to a group of children

THE GREAT
DEBATE: IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
