'What does love mean?'

The answers they

got were broader, deeper, and more profound than

is different. 

You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'

and a boy puts on shaving cologne

and they go out and smell each 

other.'

of your French fries without making them give 

you any of theirs.'

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'
