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."

"When someone loves you, the way they say your
name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their
mouth."

puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell
each other."

somebody most of your French fries without
making them give you any of theirs."

to make sure the taste is OK."

you get tired of kissing, you still want to be
together and you talk more.

gross when they kiss"

with a friend who you hate,"

other so well."

anymore."
Cindy - age 8

You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at
night."
