Love is when your kitty gets bited by a big dog and it cries so you pick it up and tell it it’s all right and you’ll bite that dog right back….love is when your big brother tells you you are a real big dope and you know it but you get mad anyway and so you tell him to go jump in a river or get lost and he doesn’t and the next day you’re glad he didn’t because then you’d have no one else to fight with when things get boring…love is when your mom tells you you can’t wear your good shoes to show and tell because it’s too rainy out and so you sneak them to school in a brown paper bag that’s supposed to be your lunch and when you get to school you put’em on then on recess you step in a thousand mud puddles and ruin your good shoes and when it comes time to go home your face gets so pale that you think you’re gonna die but you get home and the first thing your mom asks you is if you learned a lot in school today and you tell her yes and she kisses you and pretty soon

you feel

like you’re not

gonna die

after all….

That’s what love is.  So there.
