Out of the Mouths of Babes.. and Children in General

Once upon a time I remember my Primary teachers and parents telling me about a scripture or something about great and important information coming from the mouths of babes. Throughout the past few years I've had many experiences where important information that I needed to know was brought to my attention because of something that a child said to me.
Since I am working in a childcare center those opportunities are ever so present.
Yesterday was about an hour long episode of things coming out of the mouths of babes. The subject? The big M word. Marriage. More specifically why I'm not married. I'm only 18, that's why.
But, of course, 4 and 5 year olds only grasp the concept that I'm older than them. And since I don't go to school I, apparently, should be married. GAH!!
For about the past month or so the kiddos and I have had several conversations about marriage, more specifically about the 'wedding party' that I'll have once I'm married. Love those kids, but seriously, why now?
