From the mouths of babes

I'll interrupt our weekend pictures briefly for more wisdom from little ones about what love means.

"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."

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

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

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate."

"Love is like a little old man and a little old woman who are still friends even after they know each other so well."

"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."

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
