Love Is - - -

If you ask some kids what love is, what love means, you'd be surprised at what they might say. Here's a few thoughts from some wise and observant youngsters:

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)

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)

It's when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.
(Krissy - age 6)

It's when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.
(Noelle - age 7)

When my grandma got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa does it for her all the time even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.
(Rebecca - age 8)

Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
(Terry - age 4)

It's what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.
(Bobby - age 7)

If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.
(Nikka - age 6)

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)

It's when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.
(Clare - 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)

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)

It's when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.
(Maryann - age 4)

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 mom and dad are like that. They look gross when they kiss.
(Emily - age 8)

My mommy loves me more than anybody! You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.
(Clare - age 6)

It's when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.
(Chris - 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)

It's when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.
(Mark - age 6)

When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.
(Karen - age 7)

It's like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.

Love is...
A 4-year-old child's 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 man'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."

Now, I don't know if these little stories are true. They were sent to me, but I can see little kids saying some of these things. Just because my own little red heads have said some amazing things to me over the years... Regardless, they are a good reminder about what love is, wouldn't you agree?
