Love.

At any age our understanding of love is pretty much the same. Love is when your heart pounds out of your chest, your palms get sweaty, and you blurt out gushy words that you didn't even know were in your vocabulary. But that's what makes it so special, right? Love is a universal thing. Contrary to what one may believe, it doesn't take a scientist to figure love out.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that most of y'all have seen this before. But even if you have and you're like me, then you could read them over and over again. A group of children ages 4-8 were asked the question, "What does love mean?" Below are some of my favorite answers. If you want to see the rest of the answers click here. 

"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- Age 8

"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 when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7

"Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6

"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
