::\What Is Real Love?/::

Kids Tell Us What Real Love Is
==============================

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
Real touching, huh? Hm... will you do that for me, DJ? Hehe!

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4
Hehe! Real cute! =) Safe in their mouth... hm...

"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
Perfume and cologne, eh? Hehe! How adorable! =D Well... I don't exactly like perfume and cologne. Unless they're EXTREMELY nice-smelling and stuffies. No cologne's ok too, DJ! No worries... hehe!

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4
You SO do that... yep! It's the truth... really. *Swears* =)

"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
Wow... I wouldn't mind doing that, except erm... it's coffee. And I don't drink coffee. o.O Don't kill me!! Lol! I'll brew the coffee fer you though! Oh yea... did you even drank coffee last night? o.O

"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
Lol! Do they? Hehe! See, DJ, don't need always kiss de kies? =?Hehe! Jk! =D *Runs off*

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen,"
Bobby - age 7
Totally seconded! =) And to think a 7-year-old boy said that... 7 years of age! Goshens... mature. VERY mature.

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6
Hm... rather true. But, starting like that takes courage. =) But well, without courage, no one is really living. *Shrugs*

"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them."
Jenny - age 8
Well... I don't believe in God so yea. No comments on this one. o.O

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day."
Noelle - age 7
Lol! Will you do that, DJ? I don't want you stinky you know... hehe! Jk! =D =)

"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
Hehe! Little old woman and little old man. Hope we'll grow to become like them, DJ? Hehe!

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
*Sighs* Makes me feel like crying, this one. Oh wellz...

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6
Aw.... no one kisses me to sleep at night. =( Any volunteers? Hehe!

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5
I'll do that... if you let me do it! =?Instead of asking me to finish everything... hehe! Jk!

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7
Lol! Smelly and sweaty... seldom see you that way, DJ, eh? Hehe! But oh wellz... yea... who cares if you're not in your best state? Not me! Hehe! =)

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
*Huggles Crystal* Hehe! I always have this... sad feeling whenever I have to walk out the door and not come back for a few hours. Cos I'll always see her face looking at me, as if asking me where I was going. Aw...

"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
Lol! Cute eh? Hehe! Bribe!!!! Lol! Jkjk! =) But, hm... the way she looks at it? It's well... nice! Not many people do that... =) Rarity!

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."
Karen - age 7
I'll remember to check for stars next time I see you, DJ! Hehe! Jk! =)

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6
Lol! Haven't done that yet, have I? *Grins sneakily* Hehe! Jk!

"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
Yea... =) Did you forget the last time I said "I love you", DJ? =?Cos I haven't... o.O And I can't wait for the next time I hear you say it again. Hehe!

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

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."
Touching, huh? Almost cried at this one too. *Sighs* Well, people? Now you know what comforts others best. Just stay silent and help them cry. =) (No saracasm detected!)

Got that email from Flavia a few days ago. Hehe! I've got nothing to blog now... so yea. Just posted this up. =) Real meaningful, huh? Hehe!
