Even Children Talk About Love…

by Larry James

Touching words from the mouth of babes…

“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

“It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them!” ~ Lynette – age 9

“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

“If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.” ~ Nikka – age 6

“Love is like an avalanche where you have to run for your life.” ~ Roger – age 9

“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.” ~ Noelle – age 7

“Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too.” ~ Greg – age 8

“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

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

“My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.” ~ Clare – age 6

“Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.” ~ Elaine – age 5

“Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash.” ~ Erin – age 8

“Lovers will just be staring at each other and their food will get cold. Other people care more about the food.” ~ Brad – age 8

“Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.” ~ Chris – age 7

“I’m in favor of love as long as it doesn’t happen when Dinosaurs is on television.” ~ Jill – age 6

“Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.” ~ Mary Ann – age 4

“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

”

Love is foolish… but I still might try it sometime.” ~ Floyd – age 9

“No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That’s why perfume and deodorant are so popular.” ~ Mae – age 9

“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

“It’s love if they order one of those desserts that are on fire. They like to order those because it’s just like how their hearts are – on fire.” ~ Christine – age 9

“Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash.” ~ Randy – age 8

“Just see if the man picks up the check. That’s how you can tell if he’s in love.” ~ John – age 9

“I’m not rushing into being in love. I’m finding fourth grade hard enough.” ~ Regina – age 10

“Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I have been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me.” ~ Bobby – age 8

“If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.” ~ Leo – age 7

“It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I’m just a kid. I don’t need that kind of trouble.” ~ Kenny – age 7

“I think you’re supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn’t supposed to be so painful.” ~ Harlen – age 8

“You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, cause she’ll want to have videos of the wedding.” ~ Jim – age 10

“It’s never to late to be a kid again!” ~ Larry James – age ?? 😉
