A group of children answer the question - What does love mean?
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- age 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 - 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 OK."
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
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it
everyday."
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
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 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 - age 4
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)
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

BicycleRepairManugh, this looks like the sort of nonsense people spread on facebook next to a puppy-picture. What the hell is it doing on VS frontpage. This is embarrassing. 70% of these are things that kids that age would never ever say. This is just shit some adult has made up.
SevenFingersDo not underestimate the power of innocence.

BicycleRepairManExactly. No sources, references or names mentioned, just "professional people". This is some made-up shit right here. Most of these are psuedo-sayings and quotations with slight alterations.
Sure, kids are cute and all, but this smells complete bunk.

SagemindWow, you guys are the biggest bunch of Jaded Folks!
I'm on the internet all the time, and being here makes you a cynic, trust me, I know. But listen to yourselves once and a while. Here are some cute little quotes about love, from kids. Loosen up.
Who cares if this list has made the rounds at some point or another. It's like "Kids say the darnedest things." The kids may have been coaxed a bit but the sentiments are sincere.
Does it make us feel more intelligent to criticize, break down and look for every fault in every post? I file this one under trite, but it's fun, and I don't think it merits the assault that has been lavished upon it..
Take life a little less seriously and lighten up a bit...
Your stress levels may thank you for it.
seltarHEAR HEAR!!
.. I don't think it merits the assault that has been lavished upon it..
ChaosEngineWhat "assault"?
It was merely pointed out that is the kind of saccharine nonsense that gets passed around in an email chain or on facebook.
Sorry, but I'm with @BicycleRepairMan on this one.
and I don't think it merits the assault that has been lavished upon it..
BicycleRepairManLook, I may seem like a cynic here, but I'm a real softy when it comes to kids, and they say cute, funny stuff all the time. My point is that this chainmail is fake. Kids didnt say this stuff, its just garbage thats passed around. And that counts, to me, because if this is just stuff a 40 year old man has made up, then the quotes arent cute at all, and theres no point in going "Aaawwww thats so cuteycutecute of all those toddlers saying that! I dont know where they come up with it!!" Well "they" didnt. They dont even exist, these kids.
Passing around unsourced cute "facts" like this is a stupid meme on the net that should be stomped out. Fine, this one is completely harmless, but they arent all like that. like just the other day I saw this bullshit about how you can die from drinking straight from a soda can, supported by some anectdotal sob-story about someone who knew someones dad's cousin it really happened to.
The same method is frequently used to spread garbage about vaccines and actual medicine and promoting hogwash.
Bottom line: I dont find stuff that imaginary kids said cute.
