What happens when you fall in love with....

A chef?
You get buttered up

A chauffeur?
You get taken for a ride

A gambler?
He cheats on you

A telephone operator?
He gives you a phone-y line

A trashman?
He dumps you

A clockmaker?
He two-times you

A pastry cook?
He desserts you

A shoe salesman?
He walks all over you

An elevator operator?
He lets you down

An artist?
He gives you the brush

A jogger?
He gives you the run-around

If you love something, set it free.

If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours.

If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.

If it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and never behaves as if you actually set it free in the first place, you either married it or gave birth to it!

Love through the Eyes of Children:

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds: "What does love mean?" Answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

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

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You 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

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

"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 7

Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that when they kiss." Emily * age 8

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen," Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day." Noelle - age 7
Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still pals even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

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

Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is more 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

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." Karen - age 7

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. If you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget," Jessica - age 8

Bragging
As I was dropping my son off at daycare the other day, I overheard some of the children talking about their siblings.

"My brother takes karate lessons," bragged one.

"My sister takes gymnastics," said another.

Not to be outdone, the youngest piped up, "My sister takes antibiotics!"
