The Slice: Just don’t try to bust the union

A Spokane Valley friend who watches kids during the day and after school asked her young charges if they had any advice for her son, who recently got married.

They did. And she was kind enough to pass along the marital counseling.

“Just be nice!” –

Cohen, 6

Check.

“Don’t fight.” –

Brayden, 7

Check.

“Bake each other good food and only play pranks on each other when it’s April Fools.” – Elijah, 10

Sounds good. Especially the baking.

“Go to restaurants.” – Marcus, 7

As long as it is not presented as a commentary on the fare at home.

“He should get flowers to take home.” – Carah, 4

Never hurts.

No comment.

“Don’t fight! Just handle it.” – Kylee, 5

Excellent advice.

“Be good to your wife and play lots of games.” – Ben, 7

Wise counsel. Love that.
