Quoting teebis:
WHAT LOVE MEANS
Try to slow down for three minutes and read this.
It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes.
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
------------------------------------------------------------
"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 -- 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
neighbour 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"
