	What Does Love Mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of four to eight-year-olds. The answers they got 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 (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 (5) Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if You stop opening presents and listen. ~Bobby (7) Love is when my mummy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK. ~Danny (7)
	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 (8)
If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. ~Nikka (6) When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you. ~Karen (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 (8)
	Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day. ~Mary Ann (4)
