Kids Say It Better

As I was walking by our bulletin board at work, a faded piece of paper caught my attention. I'm glad it did...

Our bulletin board is divided into squares, each assigned to an employee of IT. You can put anything that means something to you, makes you laugh, pictures...whatever represents you.

A co-worker had a sheet of paper labeled "What love means to kids between ages 4-8". The rest was history. Below, are a few of my favorites:

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired". ~Terri, Age 4

"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 (That one killed me. Because it's perfect.)

"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

"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 a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."~Karl, Age 5

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate..."~Nikka, Age 6 (Amen, Nikka)

"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 when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."~Chris, Age 7 (LOL, Truth)

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." ~ Claire, Age 6

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." ~ Mary Ann, Age 4

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of their."~Chrissy, Age 6

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."~Bobby, Age 7 (Damn...)

Last but not least...

"Love is when you're kissing someone, and you're so happy with life in that moment...you start crying...Only to find that your tears are mixed with the tears of the person you're kissing...because they feel the same." ~ Yari, Ageless.
