Okay, I had to add my two cents in, but these are still cute. Sappy, but cute.
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 (Wow. Little Becky gets it....)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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 (Billy is either very deep, or very, very disturbed...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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 (Karl wants to be a squire....)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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 (You gonna finish that steak, Pumpkin?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4 (I must really love my pillow mattress.......)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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...or a taste tester....)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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 (Great sentiment... right up until she turned into a punk-ass kid....)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Damn. Just.... damn.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6 (How much hate can you have at 6? Okay, it was deep....)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7 (Is that love? Or male stupidity?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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 (Gotta hook this kid up with little Rebecca...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was 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."
Cindy - age 8 (Bet she dates a construction worker later on.....)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My mommy loves me more than anybody You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6 (Just not going there.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5 (Yum! Now that's love!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7 (I know what I smell like at times like that.... That would have to be love...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4 ('Specially after Mommy gives you the best piece of chicken....)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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 (Lauren's blonde, isn't she....?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (Parents? You might want to look into the shows this kid is watching...)
Karen - age 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6 (Trust me, Mark, she still thinks it's gross.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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." (True dat. Hey peeps, I love you.)
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 neighbor 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 neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry"
(No smart ass comments for that one. I'm verklempt)

I must love you because: I let you finish my fries (steak, etc); I am willing to be around you when you are stinky, sweaty and gross; I kiss you all the time; and I trust you with Mr. Lambikins, Impy, Purrsey and Sophia. That's love.
My lord, thou doth truly resemble the mighty maple tree. Thou art tall, broad, strong...and full of sap! 'Tis nice to see after so long a cold season of the heart.
:-)
le sigh
Luvily!
