What love means
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 and more than made up for the
jail time they had to do. See what you think:
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired. Wait, no, that'* coffee."
Terri - age 4
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. They don't call you 'jerkface' like all the kids at school do. Oh, how I long for the sweet kiss of death."
Billy - age 4
"Love is when you go out to eat and give someone most of your French fries without making them give you any of yours, and they don't report you to the FBI for not calling them 'freedom fries'."
[NAME AND AGE OF SUBJECT REDACTED FOR NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS]
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, and he wears it every day. Then you tell him you like another guy'* shirt, and he beats up the other guy and takes his shirt and gets sent to juvie. Love is fun!"
Noelle - age 7
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Jeff Vogel 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'* yard and started whacking him with a lead pipe. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
