I posted here becasuse it's not so much funny as it is cute and ......true!

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes.

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.'

Rebecca- age 8


'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just 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're 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 with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)


'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'

Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)


'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'

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 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.'

Cindy - age 8



'My mommy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'

Clare - age 6


'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'

Elaine-age 5


'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.'

Chris - age 7


'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'

Mary Ann - 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.'

Lauren - age 4




'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)

Karen - age 7


'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.'

Mark - 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

And the final one

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor 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 what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,

'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

My daughter wrote a poem when she was 6...what love means...

Lov meens senta claws

awwwww

OMG that is sooo cute!

My best friend runs a daycare and one of the little ones she watches is deaf.

When she asked me to help her one day, I was nervous about how to communicate with the toddler.

He was signing to me and I asked her what he was saying, She said he keeps saying to you.... "I need a hug..."

I melted....and dropped down on my knees, cried while I hugged him.

I bet so I would have too

That was just too precious.


You know the problem with things today is we forget what the meaning of love really is.

ALL CHILDREN ARE BORN ANGELS SO WHY SOME GROW UP AND TURN OUT THE WAY THEY DO?
ANSWER?
PARENTS THATS WHY OR THE LACK OF THEM AS THE CASE MAY BE

I have a school near by with 300 black students. I have donated thousands of dollars to that school over the years and I am over there regularly. When I go into the kindergarden or first grade classes and speak to the children they all line up to hug me when I am leaving. Sometimes it takes longer for them to hug me than it did for me to read them a story lol

very sweet and nice post

these are absolutely adorable and inspiring

my favorites are:

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

Billy - age 4

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'

Bobby - age 7


'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)

Karen - age 7



those are just so beautiful

Love to me just hearing my sons say it when I pick them up for our weekend. And how they tell me that they would rather live with me, I ask "why". I say is it because I just bought you this DS, or this game ? They answer . " No Dad its that you spend time doing things with us and being here for us" To me love is taking the time to give up "My time" and spreading it around to the ones who need it most.

this is great, but the age differences and how kids minds change is funny..ive just asked the same question to a 12, 11, 10 and 9 year old..i got three dont knows and a finger in mouth im going to be sick..typical im nearly a teenager attitude

that awesome MBD......kids say the darnest thangs......

Awwwwwwwwww its too early in the morning to

Deb if it makes you feel any better, Love from my daughter (15) is telling me "Dad don't take it personal I just don't want anyone see you drop me off for school." Me showing her love in return is dropping her off a block before school. lol
