Little Johnny and Susie are only 10 years old, but they just know that they are
in love.
One day they decide that they want to get married, so Johnny goes to Susie's
father to ask him for her hand. Johnny bravely walks up to him and says "Mr.
Smith, me and Susie are
in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage."
Thinking that this was the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replies, "Well Johnny, you
are only 10. Where will you two live?" Without even taking a moment to think
about it, Johnny
replies "In Susie's room. It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there
nicely."
Still thinking this is just adorable, Mr. Smith says with a huge grin, "Okay
then how will you live? You're not old enough to get a job. You'll need to
support Susie." Again,
Johnny instantly replies, "Our allowance... Susie makes 5 bucks a week and I
make 10 bucks a week. That's about 60 bucks a month, and that should do us just
fine."
By this time Mr. Smith is a little shocked that Johnny has put so much thought
into this. So, he thinks for a moment trying to come up with something that
Johnny won't have an
answer to. After a second, Mr. Smith says, "Well Johnny, it seems like you have
got everything all figured out. I just have one more question for you. What will
you do if the
two of you should have little ones of your own?" Johnny just shrugs his
shoulders and says "Well, we've been lucky so far..."
