I'm a fourth grade teacher and overheard this amusing exchange between two students in my class:

Boy: What's the point of getting married?

Girl: So we can live together and have a family.

Boy: But you get half of my stuff!

Girl: But you can have half of my stuff, too!

Boy: I don't want that!

Girl: But you have to get married. That's what you're supposed to do!

Boy: Nah, I don't think I'm going to do that. I don't have time to get married, I'll be playing in the NFL!

Girl: But you have to have a wife.

Boy: You're not getting half my NFL money!

I had to walk away so I could laugh. And, yes, the boy does have an active father in his life.
