Subject: Keith - your riddle shows how profound children are...

The fact that children were more successful in solving Paul Harvey's riddle than adults shows how profound children are in their simplicity. Here is more evidence:

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds: What does love mean? Here is just a sampling of the answers they received.

Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way. �Charlie, age 5

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 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 what makes you smile when you�re tired. �Terri, age 4

Love is what�s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. �Bobby, age 5

If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. �Nikka, age 6

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday. �Noelle, age 7

Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken. �Elaine, age 5

When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you. -Karen, age 7

Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn�t think it�s gross. �Mark, age 6.
