Kids’ thoughts on love and why it happens between two particular people:
“No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That’s why perfume
and deodorant are so popular.” - Girl, 9
“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.”- Boy, 8
Why lovers hold hands:
“They want to make sure their rings don’t fall off because they paid good money for them.”- Boy, 8
How can you tell if two adults eating dinner at a restaurant are in love?
“Just see if the man picks up the check. That’s how you can tell if he’s in love.” - Boy, 9
“Lovers will just be staring at each other and their food will get cold. Other people care more about the
food.”- Boy, 8
“It’s love if they order one of those desserts that are on fire. They like to order those because it’s just like
how their hearts are on fire.”- Girl, 9
What do you really think of love?
“Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I have been trying to hide from it since I was
five, but the girls keep finding me.”- Boy, 8
“I’m not rushing into being in love. I’m finding fourth grade hard enough.”- Girl, 10
GOING TO SCHOOL IS IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE,
CALCULATE AND UNCOMPLICATE THE COMPLICATED. I WILL DO

EVERYDAY LEARNING AND PLANNING FOR FUTURE BEGINNINGS
IS ALL ON THE ROAD TO BE DETERMINED.
