What does Love mean?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4
to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could
have imagined. See what you think:

paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his
hands got arthritis too. That's love."

You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

cologne and they go out and smell each other."
