"No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That's why perfume and deodorant are so popular." ~ Mae, age 9
"Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too." ~ Greg, age 8

"One of the people has freckles, and so he finds somebody else who has freckles too." ~ Andrew, age 6
"My mother says to look for a man who is kind. That's what I'll do. I'll find somebody who's kinda tall and handsome." ~ Carolyn, age 8
