What Love Means ...
WHAT LOVE MEANS TO SOME KIDS AGED BETWEEN 4 AND 8
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.

Love is when you go out to eat and
give somebody most of your Frenchfries

-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.

They look gross when they kiss

and has to go out and buy new ones.
-Lauren age 4
I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says she only picks on me
because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her.
