'You can have kids without kissing'?


Junior: You can have kids without kissing!
Becky: Yeah, but you can't get a job.
Junior: I'll become a teacher.

I didn't understand this exchange when I was eight, and now at twenty-one it makes even less sense. I mean, these kids are way too old for it to just be cute naivety. And it didn't sound like sarcasm or like they were referring to "kissing up/kissing ass". So what's the deal?

I don't know why, but this has always bothered me.

their talkin bout makin out

Yeah...I got that.

It still doesn't explain why they think you can have kids without kissing (which technically you can), but you MUST kiss to get a job. That makes no sense.

reply

they're saying that you HAVE to kiss @$$ to get a good job. to them, being a teacher is a $h!t job, so it's one you can get without kissing

reply

Really? I was always sure that wasn't what they meant because just before that they were talking about regular literal kissing.

Go figure. Thanks, though.

reply

This one makes the most sense. Remember, the kids are the actors but adults wrote it.

I think it's because their 10 and they think that. Whn I was 10 I thought kissing was gross.

I figured that maybe they read the lines wrong. I think it should be:

Junior: You can get a job without kissing.
Icebox: Yeah but you can't have kids.
Junior: So become a teacher.

It makes sense. Why they said the wrong lines, I don't know. But I'm just going to assume I'm right. :)

reply

That's a good assumption. Makes way more sense than anything else!

I never thought kissing was gross,lol.

Maybe she was talking about kissing up when she said, "but you can't get a job."

i just thought it was funny, even if it didn't make sense:)
