The scene: Emily's pre-K classroom at Goddard, where she is known as Ms. Em. Her task -- to interview them about love and write down the answers.
Ms. Em: What is love?
Kid: Wellll, love is when you marry someone. Like when you think they're pretty. Like Talia. She's pretty because she has curly hair like me. I'm pretty too. I think I have love.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ms. Em: Where do you find love?
Kid 1: In your mouth.
Kid 2: In your heart. And your heart is in your chest. Kind of by your trachea.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ms. Em: Who do you love and why?
Kid: Samantha. (another kid in class)
Ms. Em: Why?
Kid: Because Sammy plays with me outside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ms. Em: Who do you love?
Kid: My mom. Even though she is bossy a lot, I still love her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ms. Em: Is love a color?
Kid: Yes, love is red ... like Valentine's Day! Anddd ... green and blue and yellow. Oh yeah, and pink and purple. Oh yeah, and red. Wait, I already said red. And white. Yes, love is a little bit white.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ms. Em: Is love a color?
Kid: Yup! It's red like the heart in your body.
Ms. Em: Where is your heart?
Kid: You know your heart is there because it kind of jumps around. The doctor can hear it with the steposcope.
Happy (early) Valentine's Day, everyone!
Love never fails!!!!! First Corinthians 13:8
