The EASY Steps to Success
by
Suzy Red
1.
Know WHO to trust! (Look on
any United States coin.)
2.
Go to school!
Physically (If you're not there physically, you won't
be there mentally.)
and
Mentally (If you're not there
mentally, you might as well not be there physically.)
3.
Graduate as many times as possible!
(This will be impossible if you haven't followed the first two steps.)
4.
Get a job.
| (If you followed the
first three steps, you'll know how to please your boss and be a
productive worker, and you won't lose a good job because of ignorance.)
This is when you buy cars, homes, clothes, and jewelry! You go on
vacations and laugh a lot! You become an INDEPENDENT person!
This is FUN, FUN, FUN if you've followed
the first three steps! |
5.
Plan your family. ("Plan"
is the key here!)
a.
Date
|
Dating is supposed
to give you time to see if the person you are dating has gone
through the first 4 steps. If not, dump him/her! If
they hit you or curse you, DUMP them! (Those are signals
of things to come...count on it.) Remember,
dating is NOT intended to be a hands-on experience.
"Dates
are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know
each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long
enough. Lynnette, age 8"
WHEN IS IT
OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
"When they're rich." Pam, age 7
"The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want
to mess with that." Curt, age 7
"The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should
marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do."
Howard, age 8

b.
Get Married
c.
Have fun for 4 years
|
(You've both
got jobs, so you can buy your home, go on vacations together,
go to movies and out to eat every night--IF you've gone through
the steps. Otherwise, you'll be poor and bored spend
all your time trying to figure out how you got yourself into
this mess.)
IS IT
BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? "It's better for girls
to be single but
not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them."
Anita, age 9
HOW WOULD
YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
"Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks
like a dump truck." Ricky , age 10
HOW DO
YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
"You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like,
if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports,
and she should keep the chips and dip coming." Alan,
age 10
"No person really decides before they grow up who they're
going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get
to find out later who you're stuck with." Kristen, age
10

d.
Plan for your children.
(This
step is HARD!! One kind
of fun--c--will
be over. Count on it. You won't sleep for 6
years. You'll have baby spit up on your clothes.
You will spend every waking moment thinking and worrying
about your little one or running the child to the doctor.
You might forget to comb your hair, shave, or put on make-up.
Having children is NOT for
everyone! But, once your PLANNED
baby is born after you have gone
through the other steps, you and your spouse will be the
happiest persons on earth.
Special note: If everyone followed the advice in this
step, the abortion debate would be over.)
HOW
CAN A STRANGER TELL IF 2 PEOPLE ARE MARRIED? You might have
to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the
same kids.-- Derrick, age 8
