Subject: what love means to 4-8 year olds

The purpose of the contest was to find the most
caring child.

'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'
Emily - 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

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''
