Out of the mouths of children...

A group of children, aged four through eight, were asked to answer the question: "What does love mean?" Some of the answers are amusing. Some are rather earthy. Others show a wisdom far beyond their years. Some of the answers were:

bulletLove is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way.
bulletWhen my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toe nails any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.
bulletWhen someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.
bulletLove is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and
they go out and smell each other.
bulletLove is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs.
bulletLove is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings.
bulletLove is what makes you smile when you're tired.
bulletLove 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 okay.
bulletLove 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.
bulletLove is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.
bulletIf you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.
bulletLove is hugging. Love is kissing. Love is saying no. 
bulletWhen you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared they won't love you any more. But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more.
bulletThere are two kinds of love: Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them.
bulletLove is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.
bulletLove is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.
bulletDuring my piano recital, I was on a stage and 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.
bulletMy mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.
bulletLove is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken.
bulletLove is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.
bulletLove is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.
bulletI know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.
bulletI let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her. 
bulletLove cards like Valentine's cards say stuff on them that we'd like to say ourselves, but we wouldn't be caught dead saying.
bulletWhen you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars
come out of you. 
bulletLove is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.
bulletYou really shouldn't say I love you unless you mean it. But if you mean
it, you should say it a lot. People forget.
