Some junior school children were asked to define what love is… Here are a few of my favourite responses:

“When my grandma got arthritis”, said Rebecca aged 8, “she couldn’t bend over to paint her toenails anymore. So my granddad does it for her now all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s what love is.”

Elaine, age 5, said, “Love is when mummy gives daddy the best piece of chicken.”

Kari age 5, “Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on aftershave and they go out and smell each other!”
