Johnny and Susie are only 10 years old, but they just know they are in love. On Valentine's Day they decide they want to get married, so Johnny goes to Susie's father to ask him for her hand.
"Mr. Smith," says Johnny, "me and Susie are in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage."
Thinking this was the cutest thing, Mr.Smith replies, "Well Johnny, you are only 10. Where will you two live?"
"In Susie's room," replies Johnny. "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."
"Our allowance..." replies Johnny. "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.
"Johnny," he finally says, "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?"
"Well," Johnny shrugs his shoulders, "so far we've been lucky."
