“When you tell your friend you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.”
“During my piano recital, I felt scared on a stage. 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.”
“Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.”
“Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.” “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.”
“When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.”
“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.”
These are four to eight-year-old kids’ answers to the question, “What is love?”
Love is neither fancy nor difficult to do. When we look around with childlike eyes, love is always near us.
