Children are often far smarter than we adults imagine … and these kids are the perfect evidence of just that. Here, children between 4 and 8-years-old were asked a very simple question: What is love? Their responses are just brilliant – a combination of wisdom, innocence, and … well, unintended humor. Call me oversensitive, but some of these actually made my eyes tear up! So beautiful. What’s for certain is that these kids’ responses really warmed my heart – made my day in fact. That’s why I’m passing them along here – as well as to all my family and friends — I just know this will warm their hearts too!
