Thursday Thirteen #28 - What Is Love?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"

1.) '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

2.) '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

3.) '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

4.) 'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'

Terri - age 4

5.) '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

6.) '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

7.) 'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'

Mary Ann - age 4

8.) 'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.'

9.) 'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'

Noelle - age 7

10.) '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

11.) '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

12.) 'My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'

Clare - age 6

13.) 'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'
