What does Love mean?

Recommended Posts

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

 

"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."

 

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

 

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

 

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs."

 

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

 

"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."

 

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."

 

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"

 

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day."

 

"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."

 

"My mommy loves me more than anybody, You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."

 

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."

 

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."

 

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."

 

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."

 

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."

 

"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."

 

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 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."

Even a crusty old bastard like me can appreciate this kind of thread.

That's nice.

 

Here's something my daughter said to my wife that made me feel really good, yet sad for her friend at the same time.

My daughter was telling my wife that her friend told her that "her mommy and daddy fight all the time and her daddy slammed a door on her mommy's arm. I told her my mommy and daddy never fight, cuz they love each other".

 

( Not true that we NEVER argue, but we try very hard to wait until she's asleep to have our "discussions". Kids have to see too much bad stuff as it is, home should be as safe from that as possible )

My wife's brother was injured this week in the middle east. That night as I was putting my daughter to bed and we were saying our prayers I told her that we have to pray for Uncle Mike real hard. Well, she clenched her teeth and grunted out, "Pray for Uncle Mike!" I almost cried from holding back my laughter. :lol: I think Uncle Mike will get a kick out of that when he gets home.
