What Love Is To A Kiddo

******Please click on the "Daily Puppy"....it helps generate a small profit to help build a No-Kill Shelter here in Newnan. The puppies need you******

~~~THE PAY IT FORWARD PROJECT: Robyn, Noe Noe and Audrey - Thank you for saying that you would participate in this awesome project, you guys are the best!!!!!! Please hit me up with a comment with your e-mail addresses so that I can send you the details. I won't publish your details on blogger.


I wanted to share a few excerpts from an article I read where children were explaining what love meant to them. Some of their explanations are very sweet, funny and some are pretty powerful. What is love to you??



"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 what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"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)

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
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

"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

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

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)
Karen - age 7

"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

"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


***"What the world needs now is love sweet love....it's the only thing that there's just too little of"***

My favorite was what was left in a room on Xmas day after you stop opening presents and listen - LOVE! Terrific. Thanks for a wonderful inspiring post, Reggie Girl!! hugs, Debby

  21. What sweet little comments and observations. My favorite is the sweet older sister that gives her old clothes to her sister and then buys new ones...can't buy love like that!

  23. They are priceless! I'm going to have to ask my four year old what she thinks.

    Thanks for your comment on the 'trial by mothers' I agree, they should try to teach for a month. Actually, one of them said she couldn't be a teacher, what a hypocrite!

  24. This is just TOO sweet. I love the idea of my name being safe in someone's mouth, even when that mouth is full of the best piece of chicken.

  30. Fun post. I think it's important, once you find out what means love to someone you love, to love them back in the way that means love to them.

    I liked your explanation of steady on! I like the battle cry that shows up in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: "Further up, and further in!"

  31. Hi Reg, We're back from Texas. Had a nice time with son and family --but the weather was HORRIBLE. We're glad to be home!!!!!

    Love your post... There's nothing better than hearing the words of KIDS... They are so honest---and so truthful!!!! We can ALL learn something from them, can't we????

    Hugs,
    Betsy
