I usually dont go for mushy stuff but this really tickled me. I just love little ones!
What Love
means to a 4-8 year old...
Slow down for three minutes
to read this. It is so worth it.
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
'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 every day.'
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'
