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
So my grandfather does it for her
all the time, even when his hands
got arthritis too. That’s love.”

they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is
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.”

who you hate,”
Nikka - age 6

“Love is when you tell a guy you
like his shirt,

“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.
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
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

smelly and sweaty and still says
he is handsomer than Brad Pitt.”

your face even after you left him
alone all day.”

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
“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
