~Words from the Mouth of Babes~ Part 1
(Plus: Today in History, Word for the Day and Today’s Horoscope.)

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes. 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

(~What kids might say~)

Out bicycling one day with my eight-year-old granddaughter, Carolyn, I got a little wistful. 'In ten years,' I said, 'you'll want to be with your friends and you won't go walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do now.' Carolyn shrugged. 'In ten years you'll be too old to do all those things anyway.'
