What Kids Say ... About Love
Nick Titov gave us another lecture recently on cognitive development - Piaget's (I still can't believe this child prodigy published his first scientific paper at the age of 10 and had published 20 papers by the age of 21!) and Vygotsky's theories are now all mixed up in my tiny little head and I can't tell them apart besides the fact that Vygotsky said environmental interactions are involved as well or something like that...
Tiny voice in head: Jane Gun Shih Ying!!! Why don't you know the difference? Because you haven't studied! And why haven't you studied? Coz you've been procrastinating again, haven't you?!
Gulp... guilty as charged...
Anyway, Nick gave us some quotes on love by kids of varying ages to demonstrate how different they are cognitive-wise. Some quotes make you laugh when you think about it (e.g. Lauren) while others make you go "Aww" (e.g. Bobby)... Here are the quotes:
Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.
- Mary Ann (age 4)
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)
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 like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.
- Tommy (age 6)
Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.
- Bobby (age 7)
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)
Aww... When I start my own family one day... [daydreams away again as usual]
Love is indeed a many-splendoured thing... ^_^

i loved those quotes by the kids....it did make me go "awww" and smiley. heheh. They have such innocent perception of it - such originality in their words. =) i hope everything's going really well for you. Pray that God will be an enormous part of your life too as you battle the assignments. Lean on him for strength! =)
