I don't normally bother with this kind of stuff, but these came to me in an e-mail. Some are rather slushy, some have the ring of truth, and some are priceless......the last one being such a one. Apologies if they've been posted here before, I've not seen them. No idea if they're genuine quotes from kids, I just hope they are, because they give me hope for the future:-

What Love means to a 4-8 year old . . ...

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it.
Touching words from the mouth of babes.

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- aged 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 - aged 4

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

Karl - aged 5

'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 - aged 6

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

Terri - aged 4

'Love is when my mummy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a
sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'

Danny - aged 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 Mummy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they
kiss.'

Emily - aged 8

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

Bobby - aged 7 (Wow!)

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

Nikka - aged 6 (we need a few million more Nikkas on this planet)

'Love is when you tell a bloke you like his shirt, then he wears
it everyday.'
Noelle - aged 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 - aged 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 - aged 8

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

Clare - aged 6

'Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'

Elaine - aged 5

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

Chris - aged 7

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

Mary Ann - aged 4

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

Lauren - aged 4

'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little
stars come out of you.' (what an image!)

Karen - aged 7

'Love is when Mummy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think
it's gross.'

Mark - aged 6

'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 - aged 8

And the final one:

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbour 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 neighbour, the
little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry...'

I'm not the hard-assed so-and-so I thought I was. Mostly I just smiled and nodded but the last one gave me a wet keyboard.
Thanks for this

Eddie

Thank goodness for the innocence of children in this world. The one about the best piece of chicken did make me smile, in my household as a child my father was always a bit suspicious about having the best piece or largest portion of meat, it was usually the one that accidently got dropped re-heated and covered with gravy.

I knew MY mother loved mem because she always ate the scrawny chicken wings and left the drumsticks for my brother & I.
I was almost 20 before I discovered that the wings were the best part.
