My 84-year-old grandpa in New Mexico sends a lot of email forwards. Many of them spout political propaganda that I immediately delete. However, some are gems of beautiful and/or funny photos, or wise words to live by.
One last week kind of falls into the "wise words" category.
I thought it would be perfect for Valentine's Day. Enjoy!

A group of 4-to-8-year-olds were asked What does "love" mean? Their answers were broader and deeper than you'd imagine:
"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 get 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 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
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day." - Noelle, age 7
"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
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." - Elaine, age 5
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." - Mary Ann, age 4
"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
