In our February 2 blog post, we started a list of more than 20 ways in which young children discuss the meaning of love. Here are numbers 11 through 15.

11. 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

12. ‘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

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

14. ‘Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.’ Elaine-age 5 ‘

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