What does Love mean to 4-8 year old kids? A thread…
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!
‘When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just 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
'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
The little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'
If that doesn’t speak the purest form of love, I don’t know what will. With all that’s going on in the world today, try to live and love like a kid again.
It might surprise you what you get back. 💞
'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 8
'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen.'
Bobby - age 7
'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.' Chrissy - age 6
'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.' Terri - age 4
'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.' Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt,
then he wears it every day.' Noelle - age 7
'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.' Cindy - age 8
'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross...' Mark - age 6
'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.' Jessica - age 8
'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
The winner was a 4yr old whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mom asked what happened…
'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
'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.'
(what an image!) Karen - age 7
'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 gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.' Elaine - age 5

Amen! I hold “my village” very near and dear to my heart but the kindness of these strangers reminds us that we can and should be each other’s village more often than we are.

Lord, the world thinks FSU has a crazy fan base.
Just WAIT until Alabama has to go through the Coaching Carousel process, especially after enjoying the stability and success of nearly two decades.
We’re about to hold their beer.
Lord, we ask that you please wrap your healing arms around our
@donovantm23
and his Mama right now. They need you to make Timothy better so his Mama can rest a little easier knowing he’s good: we need them Lord to continue the good work of uniting Noles together near & far! Amen.
The CFP has set a dangerous precedent here. I would have each of the schools in the ACC get their attorneys involved because there’s no way this doesn’t affect recruiting. If results don’t matter. If 13-0 doesn’t matter. Why would anyone want to play in the ACC with the bias?!
The best part about today’s game? If we don’t win, we leave the OB with the same record as the back to back National Champs and that’s something to be proud of.
If we beat the odds and WIN this game, the world will absolutely loathe us b/c we’ll be insufferable. ♥️💛
#GoNoles
In case you were wondering how hard it is to get into FSU these days…🥴
Congratulations to all that were accepted, it really is an honor to attend school here!! ♥️💛
Lee Corso is a treasure. It will be a sad day when he’s called home. I’m not the biggest Herbstreit fan but I do love and respect the way he helps Coach through these shows.
“A so called P5 conference” speaks all the volumes
@ACCFootball
teams need to know. Why would anyone want to play in the ACC now?! They’ve devalued the conference for weeks verbally and now they did it in writing.
🚨BREAKING: The

before beating

Louisville without Jordan Travis…but then after that win, the CFP thinks
#FSU
is a weaker team? It makes no sense. ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS!
You know the only Gator I DID appreciate last night?!? Mertz. He was a class act when he got interviewed and said he reached out to JT via DM. That’s what it’s about, rivalry or not, this sport is something they’ve all committed their lives to and it’s devastating to see it end.
I love the way
@Coach_Norvell
has brought a group of young men together and turned them into a family.
I loved watching
@FSUFootball
persevere over every challenge brought before them this season.
THIS Team IS my favorite and I loved watching them do this every game ♥️💛
Negativity changes now. Enjoyed this
@FSUFootball
more than any other. Every game was fun. They always played clean and hard. Became a fan in the early 70s; this will always be my favorite team. Let’s all just post what we love about
@Coach_Norvell
and his team.
#ILoveFSU
I saw that last night and thought to myself, that fella hadn’t ever been disciplined and it shows…embarrassing for his parents, his coaches and his teammates. I don’t care how many stars you got, you ain’t sh!t if you can’t be coached.
Rest easy my boy. No more pain. You gave our family two whole decades of boundless and reciprocated love. You will be missed more than words can ever describe.
Though our hearts are broken, I will love you forever my first fur baby.
#RIP

💔🌈🐶
Let me say this, idk what Coach was wearing on the sidelines today but it had kind of an IDGAF swagger to it and I think he should not show up to another game with khakis for the rest of the season. 🤣♥️💛
I’m so disappointed that the only people our country can nominate for the highest office we have, are two geriatric men who should be retired, not in charge of nuclear codes.
This is exhausting. We need age limits for all political positions or nothing will ever change.
I hope wifi is included in that $250+ million dollar upgrade. Couldn’t post these from our seats!! Was a crazy game and felt like no one left their seats!!
10-0 BABY!! ♥️💛

Mini Me just got her acceptance to Flagler on their Presidential & Merit Scholarships.
I’m really friggen proud of this kid!!
Ole Miss

Flagler

All are lucky to have her. What a ride this has been. Can’t wait until she chooses!! 😬
@MsNikki214
@ReignOfApril
Me too, I’m not the author except for the last tweet. But thought it was worth sharing because this world could use more love…💞
The best is when you’re at a random McDonald’s in Alabama for a bathroom break and someone yells, “Go Noles” to your family since we’re all in game day attire!!
That’s what I’m talking about people!! ♥️💛
Update: it was a blood clot in my right arm. 🥴
Good News: We caught it in time! Hematology will review my report in the morning.
Bad News: Don’t know where it came from or how it happened.
God is always good. 🙏🏼
I’ve had this discoloration, swelling and excruciating pain in my right arm all week but I’ve been out of town for work. So I just got to doctor’s office who is now sending me to Radiology because she thinks it’s a blood clot.
In case you’re wondering how my Thursday is going.
Chill bumps as

Love my school!! ♥️👑💛

Mama got a new set of wheels today, while being home sick. They delivered the car yesterday afternoon and Mr. Allen finished the deal this afternoon. 🥰
Y’all - MiniMe doesn’t drive on interstates but since she’s less than 8 months away from going to a college that will require it, we’re practicing today. And though I’m aging a hundred years on this journey, I do enjoy these moments with her. I only have so many left. 🥹
Got the official news from our vet, we will have to send Bella girl over the rainbow bridge tomorrow morning and I feel sick. The cancer has gotten to her neurologically and she’s suffering now which we don’t want. 💔
Putting two dogs down in one year should be against the law.
If it were the best 4, Georgia should be in over Alabama. You can’t honestly sit here and say that the back to back National Champions who hadn’t lost a game in 2 years wasn’t better than the Alabama team who almost lost to Auburn who got boat raced by New Mexico State but OK 👌🏼
Because Alabama is BETTER!!
Period! So is Texas. So is Michigan. So is Washington. So is Oregon. So is Georgia. I watch 10-15 games a week live from September-early December. I think I’m allowed to have an opinion on who I think is BETTER!! If FSU doesn’t like itbis “The BEST 4”
So I tried to give all the fellow
#FSU
fans on here a follow and/or a follow back.
Let me know if I missed anyone!! I like to see us all enjoying the progress together.
PS: My tweets are likely the least interesting you’ll read. Mostly sarcasm about FSU, marriage & parenting.
My fellow Noles, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT let political differences ruin our super good day. Save that energy for tomorrow or never possibly. Mmmk?!? ♥️💛
@hchrismiller
@Andrew_Ferrelli
I’m not sure why I laughed so hard at this but I think it’s because there’s a fair amount of truth to that recipe for a successful marriage lol.
As I embrace and welcome my 41st spin around the sun, I give thanks to God for the life I’ve built. The family I gave is second to none but the family I found in my friendships all these years is truly the greatest blessing after my kids.
Blessed to share it with you all.
🥳🎉
Happy Anniversary
@ChetAllen10
!
Thanks for building this beautiful life we have in Garnet & Gold.
Cheers to all the years and many more!! Love you!! ♥️💛
I really need
@FSUChiefs
to know that during a super serious zoom call, I totally responded to a hard question from the client with “sir, we’re the band” and luckily for me, it broke the awkward silence with laughter and I’m still employed. So, that’s my success story! ♥️💛
All season snubbed JT for Heisman but then use his injury as THE REASON they left us out. Which is it? Cause the back and forth is giving us all whiplash. These boys deserved better. Period.
I mean, “quit in protest” OR sat out on principle to protect their future financial interests by preventing injury while collecting a much smaller check than the school and those athletes deserved from a consolation bowl game.
It’s weird that so many of you aren’t getting it. 🤷🏻♀️
@BFW
If FSU comes out to prove something and beats Georgia they would be number 1 in the nations’ eyes and everyone would be on their side. Instead they quit in “protest”.
This is what makes
#FSU
special.
An entire host of Seminoles are sticking by their leader - Jordan Travis - in the hospital, including Tate Rodemaker. 🙏
#Noles
Amen! While it’s been said what a wonderful job Norvell has done, which he has, there hasn’t been enough credit given to you parents.
Y’all raised young men who were coachable, respectful and committed to putting the success of the team before their own & it shows.
Thank YOU!
All I see on my TL are the receipts of our rival’s hilarious preseason predictions being revisited by our fan base.
Making us insufferable and petty in all the ways we deserve…well done
