[I hope this makes your day!!]


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:

Rebecca - age 8
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.

Billy - age 4
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You
know that your name is safe in their mouth.

Karl - age 5
Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne
and they go out and smell each other.

Chrissy - age 6
Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your chips
without making them give you any of theirs.

Terri - age 4
Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.

Danny - age 7
Love is when my mummy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip
before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.

Emily - age 8
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 Mummy and Daddy are
like that. They look gross when they kiss

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

Jenny - age 8
There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both
kinds of them.

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

Tommy - age 6
Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still
friends even after they know each other so well.

Cindy - age 8
During my dancing concert, 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

Clare - age 6
My Mummy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing
me to sleep at night.

Elaine -age 5
Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.

Chris - age 7
Love is when Mummy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he
ismore handsomer than Mel Gibson

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

Lauren - 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.

Karen - age 7
When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars
come out of you.

Mark - age 6
Love is when Mummy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's
gross.

Jessica - age 8
You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you
mean it, you should say it a lot

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening
presents and listen



An author and lecturer 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 4 year old child whose next door neighbour 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 him what he had said to the neighbour, the little
boy said, Nothing, I just helped him cry.


Love Is Being There When Others Need You
