Love out of the mouths of babes
Adults should take lessons from some of these kids!!! A group of
professional people posed his 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.
1. When my grandma got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her
toe nails anymore. So my grandpa does it for her now all the time, even
when his hands got arthritis, too. That's love. Rebecca - age 8
2. When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You
just know that your name is safe in their mouths. Billy -age 4
(I love it! - how old is this kid?)
3. Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving
Cologne and they go out and smell each other. Kari - age 5
4. 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
5. Love is what makes you smile when you're tired. Terri - age 4
6. 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 okay. Danny - Age 7
7. Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of
kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and
my Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss. Emily - age 8
8. Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening
presents and listen. Bobby - age 7 (WOW - get the kleenex)
9. If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a
friend who you hate. Nikki - Age 6 (Amen! She's been listening to the
Good Word!)
10. Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it
every day.
Noelle - age 7
11. 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
12. During my piano recital, I was on 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
13. My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else
kissing me to sleep at night. Clare - age 6 (Gotta love her.)
14. Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken. Elaine -
Age 5
15. Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and says he is
handsomer than Robert Reford. Chris - Age 7
16. Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him
alone all day. Mary Ann - age 4
17. When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little
stars come out of you. Karen - age 7 (What generation is this kid?)
18. Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and doesn't think it's
gross. Mark - age 6
19. You really shouldn't say "I LOVE YOU" unless you mean it. But if
you mean it, you should say it a alot. People forget. Jessica - Age 8
(Priceless.)
And the winner was a 4 year old child whose next door neighbor was an
elderly man who had just lost his wife. When the child saw the man cry,
the little boy went over into the man's yard and climbed on top of the
man's lap and just sat there. When the boy's mother asked him what he'd
said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him
cry."

The winner IS so pure and sweet and wise... climbing onto the man's lap to help him cry. 
I think little kids are wiser than adults, by far, about some things, like love for instance, and as one gets older the wisdom is lost. I think babies can see angels. I'm convinced that when my son was a baby he watched them above him as I was changing a diaper. He had his eyes focused about 18 inches above his head and he was giggling and smiling like he was being entertained.

It's really refreshing to be able to go back and see things through the eyes of a child. Thanks for posting that, dlg!
