 WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN?
A group of
professional people posed
this question to some 4 to 8 year-olds... "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 "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 "Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen," Bobby - age 7 "If you want to learn to
love better, you should
start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6 "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 7
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy
smelly and sweaty and
still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 8 "Love is when your puppy licks your face even
after
you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4 "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 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 him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry." (sent to the editor by a personal friend) |
