"What does love mean?"

Before you ask us... Let's ask the kids... Their answers are broader and deeper than you would imagine.

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You 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 you give someone most of your fries without making them give you any of theirs. .
Chrissie - age 6 .

Love is what makes you smile when you're tired. .
Terri - age 4 .

Love is when mommy makes coffee for 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, but when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and 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 5 .

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

There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them. .
Jenny - age 4 .

Love is when you tell a boy you like his shirt and then he wears it everyday. .
Noelle - age 7 .

Love is like an old lady and an old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well. .
Tommy - 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 handsome. .
Chris - age 8 .

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. .
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.
