Hi Folks
This is a favourite of mine and certainly makes me smile. Out of the mouths of babes
What does Love mean?
>>>
>>>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
>>>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
>>>
>>>"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
>>>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
>>>

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

>>>stars come out of you." (what an imagination) 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 neighbour 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 neighbour, the
>>>little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
>>>
>>>When there is nothing left but love, that is when you find out that
