Love Illustrated

A group of 4-8 year olds was asked, “What does love mean?” Here are some of their answers:
· “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.
· “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 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.
· “If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.” Nikka – 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 (from Mikey’s Funnies.)
