    WHAT LOVE MEANS TO AGE 4 TO 8 YEAR OLD CHILDREN

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



    '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.'
    C hris - 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 -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia 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 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'




    When there is nothing left, that is when you find out that love is all you need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot!

    This is not a quote by Billy, aged four. This is a quote from a book called Handle with Care, by the author Jodi Picoult.

    * Love is waking in the morning with your loved one and never having to even ask your partner the question!
    * Love is knowing without question that you will love the person even if their outward appearance will change with the passing years.
    * Love is knowing your world is complete from just in the knowledge that your loved one is in it and is willing to share themselves with you.
    * Love is not even EVER having to ask yourself the question "Will I stick with this person through thick or thin, rich or poor!" - Your emotional heart will tell you the answer right away or should!
    * Love is not hurting because of its existence - but possibly from its non-presence or loss.
    * Love is always knowing that a price will never be asked of you for your love nor should!
    * Love is being happy just to hold your loved ones hand and know that they will want to too - no matter through what life may bring.

    If you wake up every morning, look into the eyes of your loved one and only see dreams of many years ahead together and the future joys of further happy times together ye might share hand in hand - you have it bad.
    ...Your in love. :)

    Love is fcuking brilliant. I love love.

    It's the best thing about being alive. By miles.

    And tbh, unfunny/smart answers on boards rank about 50 billion places behind.
