Monday Musing...Children's Perspective on Love

“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.” Bobby – age 7

Happy Monday beautiful hearts!  Over the weekend I was chatting with a friend about love and we both decided that perhaps children have some of the purest most accurate views about this invisible life changing energy.  The energy that makes us weak in the knees, that unites our lives with another, that warms our souls on the journey of life. 
​
As you begin your week, I hope those sentiments bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart!  

• "If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long." -- Glenn, age 7
• "My mother says to look for a man who is kind. That's what I'll do. I'll find somebody who's kinda tall and handsome." -- Carolyn, age 8
• "One of you should know how to write a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is still going to be a lot of bills." -- Ava, age 8
• "I'm not rushing into being in love. I'm finding fourth grade hard enough." -- Regina, age 10
• "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.  You know that your name is safe in their mouth.”  Billy – age 4
• ​"Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me." -- Dave, age 8
• "You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." -- Jim, age 10
• “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
• “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
• “Don’t forget your wife’s name. That will mess up the love.” — Erin, age 8
• “Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me.” — Dave, age 8
• ​“Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too.” — Greg, age 8
