What Does Love Mean?

Kids, aged 4 to 10 were asked questions about what they thought of love. Here is what they said:

+ 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 you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday. - Noelle, age 7

+ Love is what makes you smile when you're tired. - Terri, age 4

+ Love is when my mummy 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 someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at him because you know it would hurt his feelings. - Katie, age 8

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

+ 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

+ I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful. - Manuel, age 8

+ I'm in favor of love as long as it doesn't happen when Dinosaurs is on television. - Jill, age 6

+ Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me. - Dave, age 8

+ Lovers will just be staring at each other and their food will get cold. Other people care more about the food. - Brad, age 8

I'm not sure if these were actually said by the kids but one thing is clear that we have a lot to learn from children as always.

She Came Bearing Gifts

Last week, one of our best buddies Fatos came all the way from Pittsburgh to her homeland. Because it has been ages since we last saw each other, I can't even describe the extent of our elation, we missed her big time. We talked and talked and talked... we didn't want to leave each other's side even for a second for fear that we would waste our precious little time together.


She likes surprising us with adorable presents and this time wasn't an exception. Even her hectic schedule of attending seminars and preparing presentations didn't constitute enough of an obstacle to her. It is also touching to see how she cared for the little details about us while buying these special things, like my fondness for butterflies.


And me and my sister's shared interest of beauty products, especially when they smell like heaven. The packaging is so dazzling I want to eat it :)


And these headbands are something that I was desperately in need of but it never occured to me to get a proper one myself. I was just putting on whatever hair accessories I can get my hands on which weren't as stylish and cute as these ones. Let's just say all is well with the world now that we resolved this little problem.

Fatos you will be missed a lot as usual, please come back again like next week or so :)
