SOME SUREFIRE WAYS
TO MAKE A PERSON FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU


"Tell them that you own a whole bunch of candy stores."

"Shake your hips and hope for the best."
(Camille, age 9)

Make sure it's something she likes to eat.
French fries usually works for me."

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

"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)

"You should never kiss a girl unless you have
enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR,
because she'll want to have videos of the wedding."
(Allan, 10)

"Never kiss in front of other people.
It's a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you.
If nobody sees you,
I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy,
but just for a few hours."

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