"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
- Elaine, age 5
"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."

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

"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. That's love."
