What is Love?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of four to eight-year-olds: 

“What does love mean?”

“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

 “Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.” ~Terri, age 4 

“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.” ~Bobby, age 5

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

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

“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 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 

“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 really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.” ~Jessica, age 8
