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 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

If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.

Nikka - age 6

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 Robert Redford.

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

Karen - age 7

Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.

Mark - age 6

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


And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. (Now this will melt your heart.) 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's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

Love is when two people kiss eachother and a man puts his penus into a womans vagina

bigreader 4. November 2005, 21:37

andretavs, You are an idiot. First of all, learn how to spell. Second this is what young innocent kids think love is. Not some stupid pervert like you. I know this sounds stupid (because I'm flaming you but I don't care) Leave the "Love is" to the kids and shut up.

Krazy Kracker 5. November 2005, 01:32

Agreed with "bigreader", this is why children are not bad, and shouldn't be disliked. As some would say, kids knowing that makes up for their lack of knowledge; which most things besides love and a few others. Most of the supposed knowledge kids learn, isn't needed to live. I do not think anything is "deep" that's like saying "This puzzle is Complex." Yet complexities are many simple things that interact with each other. Being 15, I'd say that "Love is doing something you wouldn't want to do, or something you wouldn't need to do, and doing it anyways, to make that person's day easier."

RBsodapop7 5. November 2005, 22:45

Sometimes I wonder what schools are for. All that math, history, english...when you get down to it how much of that holds as much worth as what the kids above already know? I also am still trying to figure out why our society still thinks kids aren't as smart as adults. You can ask kids (often even teenagers) a 'deep question' and most of them may surprise you in their answers. I've seen many studies like this and it is amazing the insight kids have that people tend to ignore or not beleive.

Love is when you stare at someone all day long even if they don't like you back and when someone asks you what you're staring at, you say your life.

Love is when you care more about your partners wellbeing, then your own and when you're apart from each other you can think of anything else except him/her.

I just like one AD slogan of Air Jordan for Nike. As Michael says "what is love? what is love? Love is to play every game." So cool.

love is when you want to be with that person no matter what their faults are or the things that just drive you nuts. it is also knowing that everyday that you need to work with that person to help that love grow and flourish into something bigger between you and that person that you are with.-even when they drive you nuts!!!

as for what the children had to say about love that was really cute you never would think that children that small would understand a concept so big.

Many people say love is blind, and they think love blinds you from your partners affairs, lies, and deception. But I see love as being blind in a differant way. Love blinds you from all the hate, pain, and sadness in the world. When you're in love, nothing matters except trying to make it through this world, happily with your partner.

love is not being able to forget someones face no matter how hard you try.
seeing it in deep half forgotten dreams and having the imprint on the back of your mind forever.
I love how the children phrased such a complex subject as love in the simple small things in life.
Children are more intuitively clever than we give them credit for...

Someone asked to Mevlana[1] -one of the biggest Turkish philosopher- "What is love?"
He answered "You have to be me, if you want to learn what's love"
May be not exact translation but...
