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?"
"Yes," 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 scared of the dark."
"How about transportation?" the father asked.
"I have my wagon, and we both have our tricycles," the little boy answered.
The boy had an answer to every question the father raised.
Finally, in exasperation, his dad asked, "What about babies? When you're married, you're liable 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!"

A Tennessee farmer got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring farm and knocked at the farmhouse door. A young boy about 10 opened the door. "Is yer Paw home?" the farmer asked.
"No sir, he ain't," the boy replied. "He wint to town."
"Well", said the farmer, "is yer Maw here?"
"No, sir, she ain't here neither. She wint to town with Paw. "
"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"
"He wint with Maw and Paw. "
The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.
"Is thar anything I kin do fer ya?" the boy asked politely. "I know where all the tools are, if yer needin to borry one. Or maybe I could take a message fer Paw. "
"Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer Paw. It's about your brother Howard gittin' my daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant."
The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Paw bout that," he finally conceded. "If it helps you any, I know that Paw charges $50 fer the bull and $25 fer the hog, but I ain't sure how much he gits fer Howard."
