What
does Love mean?
A group of professional people posed this question
to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers
they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she
couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it
for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name
is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy
- age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy
puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age
5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody
most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're
tired." Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my
daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is
OK." Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when
you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My
Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily-age
8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening
presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
"If you want to learn to love better, you
should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6 (we need a few
million more Nikka's on this planet)
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his
shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little
old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6 (to be continued)
