THE MEANING OF LOVE
Since a very long time ago,
people have searched for the meaning of love.
But even the great philosophers,
with their profound definitions,
could not fully touch it's true essence.
In a survey of 4-8 year olds,
kids share their views of love.
But what do little kids know about love?
Read on and be suprised that despite
their young and innocent minds,
kids already have a simple but deep
grasp of that four letter word.
"Love is the first feeling you feel
before all the bad stuff
gets in the way."
"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."
"When someone loves you,
the way she says your name is different.
You know that your name
is safe in her mouth."
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume
and a boy puts on shaving cologne
and they go out and smell each other."
"Love is when you go out to eat
and give someone else most
of your french fries without making
them give you any of theirs."
"Love is when someone hurts you.
And you get so mad but you don't
yell at him because you know
it would hurt his feelings."
"Love is what makes you
smile when you are tired."
"Love is when mommy makes coffee
for my daddy and she takes a sip
before giving it to him,
to make sure the taste is OK."
"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
but they look happy and sometimes
they dance in the kitchen while kissing."
"Love is what's in the room with you at
Christmas if you stop opening
presents and listen."
"Love is hugging."
"Love is kissing."
"Love is saying no."
"When you tell someone something bad
about yourself and you're scared
she won't love you anymore.
But then you get suprised because
not only does she still love you,
she loves you even more."
"There are 2 kinds of love.
Our love. God's love.
But God makes both kinds of them."
"Love is when you tell a guy
you like his shirt,
then he wears it everyday."

and a little old man who are still
friends even after they've known each
other so well."

and 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."
"Love is if you hold hands and
sit beside each other in the cafeteria.
That means you're in love.
Otherwise, you can sit across from
each other and be okay."
"My mommy loves me more than anybody.
You don't see anyone else kissing
me to sleep at night."
"Love is when mommy gives
daddy the best piece of chicken."
"Don't feel so bad if you don't have
a boyfriend. There's lots of stuff
you can do without one."
"Love is when mommy sees
daddy smelly and sweaty
and still says he is handsomer than
Robert Redford."
"If you want someone to love you,
then just be yourself. Some people
try to act like somebody else,
somebody the boy likes better.
I think the boy isn't being very good
if he does this to you and you should
just find a nicer boy."
