Kids say the most candid, honest, and often times hilarious things. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, LDS Living asked a handful of kids a few questions about love.
Q: What is love?
Mommy and Daddy and Elliot.
~Jane, age 2
No verbal response, but he kept hugging his mom and saying a long "ooooh."
~Elliot, age 19 months
It is when you have someone in your mind.
~Caroline, age 7
Love is when two people really, really, really like each other.
~Olive, age 6
A hug and a kiss.
~Peter, age 4
I don't know ... umm i think it's a duck.
~Lily, age 4
Go to sleep, wake up, and laugh.
~Layla, age 2
I don't know. I just don't know.
~Naden, age 9
Marriage, sweethearts, and Valentine’s Day.
~Brooklyn, age 10
It’s with you and Johnny. (Johnny is the interviewer's husband.)

Q: How do you know when two people are in love?

~Carly, age 6
When you like someone and they like you back.
