A group of reporters asked a group of 4-to-8-year-old children this question, "What does love mean?" The answers were surprising. The children would answer like they did below. Rebecca --- age 8 "When my grandmother hurt her knees , she couldn't bend   over and paint her toenails   any more. So my grandfather would do it for her all the time, even when his hands hurt, too. That's love." Samantha --- age 6 "Love is when someone hurts you, and you get so mad but you don't shout at her because you know it would hurt her feelings." Terry --- age 4 "Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Bethany --- age 4 "I let my big sister pick on   me because my Mum says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her." Lauren --- age 4 "I know my elder sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new clothes." Elaine --- age 5 "Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Clear --- age 5 "My Mummy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Jessica --- age 8 "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." Who told us the love between Mum and Dad?
Clear. Elaine. Rebecca. Lauren.
