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 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
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who
you hate." Nikka - age 6
"There are two kinds of love. Our love and God's love.
But God makes both kinds of them." Jenny - age 8
"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." 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 -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia
once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest
was to find the most caring child. 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 him what he had
said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him
cry."
