when i was age 3-6 my mom babysat all my friends for a living. we debated between 2 theories for marriage, one was that you had to marry the person if you kissed them, the other was that you had to marry someone if you went on a date with them. I flatly refused to believe the first and whenever one of my friends told me that, i remember correcting them that that was wrong but that the other was right. I was very stubborn on this subject. I don't remember why this was but i think it had something to to with my neighbors who were older than me and i think eigther they believed this or they were playing a joke on me.
