    Thumbs up Love from a child's view

    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 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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    I love this one- it's so cute, but so true. Kids are so much more intelligent and understanding than we give them credit for!

    These one's made me cry (ok it's that time of the month, but I'm sure I'd still be really really moved any other time of the month!).

    This summer while my 5-year-old niece was visiting me, she gave me a definition of love.

    "When mommy will give up her stocking cap out in the cold when the wind took yours so you can wear one." They live above the Artic Circle in Alaska so "cold" is really cold.

    My 9 year old said love is: "when you love someone for who they are and they love you for who you are."

    Man, this thread should come with a warning label!

    Warning! : This thread is to be read with a large box of tissues, since it's such a tear jerker!

    I love when kiddos say that kind of stuff, it makes things in this world seem right if even for a sec.

    its pretty cute!

    the sad thing is that when they're older, a lot of those kids will forget what love is to them and not truely be happy.

    i try to make sure that my son never forgets what love is.
