What Love means to a 4-8 year old

What Love means to a 4-8 year old ....

Slow down for three minutes to read this.  It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes.

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined See what you think:



'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



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

Billy - age 4



'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 what makes you smile when you're tired.'

Terri - age 4



'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 OK.'

Danny - age 7



'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss'

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'

Noelle - age 7



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

Tommy - age 6



'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.

He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'

Karen - age 7

And the final one 

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,

'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

HANDLING A DIFFICULT CUSTOMER........

FLAVOR00-NONE-0000-0000-000000000000 ;

A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a fancy dress party.

He doesn't know what to wear to hide his head and his wooden leg so he

Writes to a fancy dress company to explain his problem.

A few days later he receives a parcel with a note:

 

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit.  The spotted handkerchief will cover

your bald head and with your wooden leg you will be just right as a pirate.

The man thinks this is terrible because they emphasised his disability, so he

writes a letter of complaint.

A week passes and he received another parcel.

 

 

Dear Sir,

Sorry about the previous parcel.  Please find a monk's habit.  The long robe

will cover your wooden leg and with your bald head you will really look the part.

The man is extremely furious now, because the company has gone from

emphasizing his wooden leg to drawing attention to his bald head.  So he writes

 a really rude letter of complaint.

A few days later, he gets a very small parcel from the company with an

 accompanying letter:

 

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed a tin of Golden Syrup.  Pour the tin of Golden Syrup over

your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your arse and go as a toffee apple!

 

 

 

 

 

 

What to invest in...


If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. 


With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00.
 
With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.
 
If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.
 
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer/wine
 one year ago, drank all the beer/wine, then turned in the cans/bottles for the recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00.
 
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to Drink heavily and recycle.
