A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4-8 year olds, “What does love mean?” The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.
“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
“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.”
Billy - age 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 - age 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 - 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 okay.”
Danny - age 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 Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss.”
Emily - age 8
“If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.”
Nikka - age 6
“There are two kinds of love, Our love. God’s love. But God makes both kinds of them.”
Jenny - age 8
“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.”
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
“My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.”
Clare - age 6
“Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.”
Elaine - age 5
“Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Brad Pitt.”
Chris - age 7
“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 - age 5
“When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.”
Karen - age 7
“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

THE WONDERLAND
And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes. Someone to help us hear the music in the world, to remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there. And that someone will find you. - Lucas Scott, OTH
