Children can answer better than most adults when it comes to love. The question was "What is love"? The answers they gave were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"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 7

"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

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka – age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare – age 6

"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
