Love by kids

A group of child psychologists posed this question to a group of 4-8
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 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 what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening
presents and listen," Bobby - age 5

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend
you
hate." Nikka - age 6

"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes
both kinds of them." Jenny - age 4

"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

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else
kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - Age 5

"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 8

"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

"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." Bethany - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little
stars come out of you." 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

I love that post!! It makes me think of my own kids and some of the funny and deep things they say! Kids see and know more then we give them credit for. Mine always see when mommy needs a hug or just a plain good old cuddle. Thanks again for posting that!

Thanks Don, that was fantastic! Sometimes I think we tend to lose our intelligence as we get older. This was so sweet. It also serves as a reminder to just let go and listen and trust whats inside us - things we have known since we were in kindergarten!
