What Love Means To A 4 - 8 Year Old

'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 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 


'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 


'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 


'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 


The winner was a four year old child
whose 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 
gentleman'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'

Love is when your children honor their parents because they gave birth to them. Not because they had the best of everything handed to them.
