4-8 year-olds on Love

While getting my medication adjusted, lately,
I came across this list of 18 quotes from 4 to 8 year-olds, answering the question of
"What does love mean?"

2. When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

3.Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.

5.Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.

6. Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is okay.

17. Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and doesn't think it's gross.

18. You really shouldn't say I love you unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it alot. People forget.

I just wanted to pass this on. Maybe it's a bit too cutesy. I have to say I like the adult list, below, better. My wife thinks at least some of these (supposed) quotes might be contrived.
