What does Love Mean?

What does Love Mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4-8 year olds. 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. Now 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 my Mommy makes coffee for my Daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him to make sure the taste is okay. Danny – age 7

Love is what is with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. Bobby – age 7

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday. Noelle – age 7

Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day. Mary Ann – age 4
