What does Love mean - a child’s view.

[Topher]

Touching words from the mouth of babes.

A group of professional people posed this question to a group
of 4 to 8year-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."

The fact that it's BS makes it slightly less vomit inducing. Were it real I'd need to spend a good solid week kicking puppies and swearing at girl scouts to erase the horrid memory from my system.

A team of scientists from the Moose Institute posed the question "What does love mean?" to a group of 4-7 year olds.

45% responded "Dunno"
35% refused to speak and hid bashfully behind their hands.
17% responded "like...when you love something"
2% responded "When you reeeealy like something"
1% responded "Hi, I'm a 27 year old internet glurge-peddler making cod-profound statements that are too complex for children develpmentally incapable of abstract thought and then attributing them to four-year-olds for added 'aaah'-factor. Um... I mean.... like when a mummy kitten licks her baby kittens"

Under Institute ethical guidelines, the last participant was beaten mercilessly then dumped in a river.
