A Child's Definition of Love

"Love is what you first feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"When my grandmother got arthirtis, 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."

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."

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

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody all of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs."

"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings."

"Love is what makes you smile even when your tired."

"Love is when mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him to make sure it tastes okay."

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

"Love is when you tell someone something bad about yourself and your're scared they won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because they not only still love you, they love you even more."

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep every night."

"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken."

"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."

"Love is when a puppy licks your face, even after you left him alone all day"

You shouldn't say "I love you" unless you mean it. But if you mean it you should say it a lot. People forget."
