Hah! That's so ironic.
A friend of mine just came back from University for semester break n' he was telling me about how he has a 6 year old cousin who apparently wants to marry at age 58.

I like that, I had to do it when I was in Year 8, I had to interview little children about GOD and Religions, etc. for my RS project, and I really enjoyed doing it, because they all had funny thoughts

This is my favorite!! Having 2 boys, I can almost hear my youngest, who is 9, saying something exactly like this. Especially since he has been getting love notes from a cute little girl in class, and they "go together".
Aint love grand!!!
Jeff, I think food works on any guy, any age!
