Hi All
Someone e mailed this to me, and it made me smile- hope it does the same for you all.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 - 8 year olds,
"What does LOVE mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined !!!!!
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, 8yrs
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different...you just know that your name is safe in their mouth....Billy, 4yrs
Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other....Karl, 5yrs
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,6yrs
Love is what makes you smile when you are tired..Terri, 4yrs
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, 7yrs
Love is what·s in the room at Christmas, if you stop opening presents and listen..Bobby, 7yrs (Wow)
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, 8yrs
Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday..Noelle, 7yrs
Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford...Chris, 7yrs
Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day...MaryAnn, 4yrs
I know my sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones...Lauren, 4yrs
When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you...Karen, 7yrs
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, 6yrs
Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken..Elaine, 5yrs
You shouldn·t say "I love you" unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot....Jessica, 8yrs
If you want to learn to love better you should start with someone you hate...Nikka, 6yrs(We need a few million more Nikkas on this planet)
And the final one
A four year old child whose next door neighbour was elderly and had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the 4 yr old went into the gentleman·s yard, climbed into his lap and just sat there..
When his mother asked what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said,
" Nothing, I just helped him cry."
