What love means to age 4 to 8 year old children...

Slow down for three  minutes to read this. It is so worth it.
Touching words from the mouths  of babes.
What does 'Love' mean?
A group of professional people  posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does 'love'  mean?'
The answers the  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.'  
Chrissie - age  6  

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

  'Love is when my mummy 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 Mummy 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 Nikka's 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  

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 Mummy 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  

And  the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about  a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to  find the most caring child.
The winner was a four  year old  child whose next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had   recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry,  the  little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap,   and just sat there.
When his Mother asked  what he had  said to the neighbour, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry'.
