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
"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
"There are two kinds of love. Our
love. 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."
This is awesome! The wisdom of
children!! It's not what you gather,
but what you scatter that tells what
kind of life you have lived.
