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 Nikkas 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

By tommy, From palmcoast the feeling to have sexual inter course with another By kaleem, From rawalpindi these kids are just amazing.i m inspired by thier quotes,but they can say this all becoz the are innocent now and clean from every bad thing. By Bella, From Here Who cares if they're made up or not.?! Their still cute and cool =) By gabriela, From newyorkcity oh my goodness. these quotes have truly inspired me to think harder and speak my mind about things like life. i think that its amazing how those kids were able to express the word love in a creative way and it makes you think twice about it. By Dianne, From Riverside This is really cute stuff. I believe that it's possible for younger kids to come up with stuff like that. I have younger siblings mostly under 9 who are incredibly smart. To the person who says that it was made up, I think you're just jealous because you're not able to come up with something half as good because of the lack of love and intelligence in your life. By Anonymous, From the Internet Wow, it's so amazing that there are still people dumb enough to believe that these weren't just made up by someone... Do you really believe that little kids came up with this crap? You want to, but try to remember back to when you were that young. You people are such tools... By supercool, From sadfas after reading this quotes me and my girlfriend broke up... I told her I slept with another girl. By Jordan, From pinehurst wow...i was sitting here having an arguement with my boyfriend... and then i read this page.. and now all we were arguing about just seems dumb. maybe we all just need to think about things as simply as little kids do.
