Innocence of a child

This week, the Curmudgeon’s Observations have provided daily reminders that this Saturday was Valentine’s Day. I know there are plenty of people that consider this day a “Hallmark Holiday”, designed to guilt us into spending money. They are probably right, but for me, I need an occasional nudge.

Here are the other quotes that we did not have time to use:

"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" - Emily, age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." - Clare, age 6

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." - Chris, age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." - Mary Ann, age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." - Lauren, age 4
