WHAT IS LOVE? There is so much we can learn from children. Touching words from the mouth of babes.. 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 ‘During my piano recital , I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn’t scared anymore.’ Cindy – age 8 ‘My mommy loves me more than anybody You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.’ Clare – age 6 ‘Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.’ Elaine-age 5 ‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford .’ Chris – age 7 ‘Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.’ Mary Ann – age 4 ‘I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.’ Lauren – age 4 ‘When you love somebody , your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.’ (what an image) Karen – age 7 ‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn’t think it’s gross..’ Mark – age 6 ‘You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it , you should say it a lot. People forget.’ Jessica – age 8 And the final one The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry , the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard , climbed onto his lap , and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor , the little boy said, ’Nothing , I just helped him cry’.
