What is Love?
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it all the time for her, 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 are 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 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.
"Love is what's in the room at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." (!!!)
Bobby, age 7.
"If you want to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate."
Nikka, age 8.
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, and he wears it every day."
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.
"During my piano recital, I was on stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me, and I saw my Daddy waving and smiling. I wasn't scared anymore."
