This question was posed to a group of 4 to 8 year olds. Below is a sample of their responses.
Rebecca - age 8 - 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.
Billy - age 4 - When someone loves you the way they say your name is different. You just know your name is safe in their mouth.
Karl - age 5 - Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.
Terri - age 4 - Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
Danny - age 7 - Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him to make sure it tastes okay.
Emily - age 8 - 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.
Bobby - age 7 -Love is what's in the room when you stop opening Christmas presents and listen.
Nikka - age 6 - If you want to learn to love better you should start with a friend who you hate.
Tommy - age 6 - Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.
Elaine - age 5 - Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken.
Chris - age 7 - Love is when mommy sees daddy all sweaty and smelly and still says he's handsomer that Robert Redford.
Lauren - age 4 - I know my sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.
Mary Ann - age 4 - Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.
Ken - age 84 - Love is when you do a 7 page printout of an e-mail and retype it so it won't be full of broken lines and the page won't have a lot of << on it.
Love is a little old woman
Author and lecturer, Leo Buscaglia, once talked about a contest where he was asked to find the most caring child. The winner was a 4 year old boy whose neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Seeing the man crying the boy went into the man's yard and climbed on his lap. When his mother asked him what he'd said to the old man, the boy replied. Nothing, I just helped him cry.
