Truths about Love in a Kid's Point of view

I love chatting with my three boys and their friends. 

Kids say the cutest things, especially the youngest ones. 

For Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share some of their thoughts on LOVE.

“I think you fall in love why you get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn’t supposed to be so painfull.”

“One person who has freckles finds somebody else who has freckles and they fall in love.”

“Falling in love is like an avalanche where you have to run for your life.”

“If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it.  It takes too long.”

“No one is sure why people fall in love.  But I heard it has something to do with how you smell.  That’s why perfume and deodorant are so popular.”

“Beauty is skin deep.  But how rich you are can last a long time.”

“Lovers hold hands.  They want to make sure their rings don’t fall of because they paid good money for them.”

“When people hold hands they are just practicing for when they might have to walk down the aisle someday and do the matchimony thing.”

“I’m in favor of love as long as it doesn’t happen when SpongeBob Squarepants is on TV.”

“Love is foolish…but I still might try it sometime.”

“To make a person fall in love with you, tell them that you own a whole bunch of candy stores.”

“Love with find you, even if you are trying to hide from it.  I’ve been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me.”

“Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.”

Happy V-Day to my special guys... I love you!

Forbidden Pleasures, Forgiven Desires - Eliot Hastings

Peter was an assertive man, in complete control of his life and work. But in his closest relationships he was a natural submissive, and he had been searching for a dominant partner for as long as he could remember. Dissatisfied with his relationships, he had sought the services of a professional Mistress. Lisa enjoyed her work as a sadistic Dominatrix, exploiting his masochism and they soon became good friends. It seemed as if he had everything he needed, and his search was over. Then he met Suzy and fell in love with her, they were brought together by a quirk of fate. She had her own agenda, but there was something unspoken, something below the surface that drew them together, but would she love him? and if she did, would he be able to live a life denying his need to be dominated...
