What is love?

I don't usually forward/reprint forward/chain emails, but my daughter sent me this one and it's just simply too precious not to share.

Take a few minutes and read this. I promise it'll be worth it ...

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could 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.'

You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'

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'

cheers,

Nice find. :) Although when I saw the thread title, I thought you were talking about that awful song from Night at the Roxbury.

Thanks Roughneck :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for posting that, Roughneck! It made me and my heart smile.

I tried to pick a favorite, but it is just impossible. So many wonderful quotes.
 
Great and I'm speechless too.

And if anybody in the world reminds these words:
'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'

Nikka - age 6


probably, there are no more wars in the world.:bowdown:
 
Love is my wife works all day and come home cooks dinner !

Love is preparing dinner for me at 8 p.m. when I work late sometimes !

Love is sharing the TV channel and learn to enjoy what she likes to watch !

Love is not spending too much time on the internet and share time together !

There are more...........Finding true love is difficult !
 
Thanks Roughneck. This was a nice break from all the "Where would you..." and "Who do you want to..." threads that are out there right now.
 
It's ironic that kids, who are supposedly not as smart as adults, have a thorough understanding of what love is while some adults think love has something to do with 3 Long Islands, 5 tequilas, and a hotel room.
