LOVE, AS DEFINED BY CHILDREN
 
A group of professionals posed the question, "What does love mean?" to 4 - 8 year-olds and the answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.  See what you think:
 
"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."
 
"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."
 
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.  You know that your name is safe in their mouth."
 
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
 
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs."
 
"Love is when someone hurts you.  And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know how it would hurt their feelings."
 
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
 
"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."
 
"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."
 
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
 
"When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared they won't love you anymore.  But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more."
 
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day."
 
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
 
"During 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."
 
"My mommy loves me mores than anybody.  You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
 
"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken."
 
"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer then Robert Redford."
 
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
 
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
 
"I 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."
 
"Love cards like Valentine's cards say stuff on them that we'd like to say ourselves, but we wouldn't be caught dead saying."
 
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."
