Getting Married

"Getting Married"*

*A six-year-old boy told his father he wanted to
marry the little girl across the street. The father,
being modern and well-schooled in handling
children, hid his smile behind his hand.

"That's a serious step," he said, "Have you thought
it out completely?"

"Sure," his young son answered. "We can spend
one week in my room and the next in hers. It's
right across the street, so I can run home if I get
lonely in the night."

"How about transportation?" the father asked.

"I have my wagon and we both have our tricycles,"
the little boy answered.

The boy had answers to every question the father
raised. Finally, in exasperation, the man asked,
 "What about babies? When you're married, you're
likely to have babies, you know."

"We've thought about that too", the little boy
replied. "We're not going to have babies. Every
time she lays an egg, I'm going to step on it."
