What kids say sent in by Terry Scott:
A group of professional people
posed this question to a group of 4 to 8
year-olds, "What does love
mean?" The answers they got were broader
and deeper than did 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 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 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. They look
gross 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!)
"If you want to learn to
love better, you should start with a friend
who you hate."
- Nikka,
age 6
"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's
love. But God makes
both kinds of them."
- Jenny, age
8
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears
it everyday."
- Nancy, 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
"During my piano recital,
I was on a stage and I was scared.
I looked at all the people watching
me and saw my daddy waving and
smiling. He was the only one doing
that. I wasn't scared anymore."
- Cindy, age 8
"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
"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."
****Today in history by Alan Dicey:
On this day, January 17, 1996:
Kasparov defeats chess-playing computer
In the final game of a six-game
match, world chess champion Garry Kasparov
triumphs over Deep Blue, IBM's
chess-playing computer, and wins the match,
4-2. However, Deep Blue goes on
to defeat Kasparov in a heavily publicized
rematch the following
year.
Garry Kasparov, considered one of the greatest players in the history
of
chess, was born April 13, 1963, in the Russian republic of Azerbaijan. In
1985, at 22, Kasparov became the youngest world champion in history when he
defeated Anatoly Karpov.
Deep Blue's origins trace back to 1985, when
Carnegie Mellon University
doctoral student Feng Hsiung Hsu began developing
a chess-playing computer
called "ChipTest." The computer later became known
as "Deep Thought," after
a machine in the science-fiction novel The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
by Douglas Adams. Hsu and his
collaborators, Murray Campbell and Thomas
Anantharaman, were later hired by
IBM, where they continued to work on the
chess-playing computer. In 1989,
Gary Kasparov easily trounced Deep Thought
when they met for a 2-game match.
The IBM team continued to refine their
supercomputer, which in 1993 was
renamed "Deep Blue," a combination of Deep
Thought and Big Blue, IBM's
nickname.
The six-game match between Kasparov and Deep Blue began on February
10,
1996, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. Although
Deep
Blue was capable of evaluating 100 million different chess positions
per
second, the IBM team wasn't sure how the computer would perform in
competition and Kasparov was favored to win. Instead, much to his
frustration, the world chess champ lost the first game to Deep
Blue.
However, the tenacious, brilliant Kasparov quickly staged a comeback
and won
the second game. The third and fourth games ended in a draw, while
Kasparov
won the fifth game. On February 17, the human chess master
triumphed over
Deep Blue in the sixth game and took the match, with a final
score of 4-2.
A heavily publicized 6-game rematch between man and machine
began on May 3,
1997. The IBM team had been working to upgrade Deep Blue
since its 1996
defeat to Kasparov and the improved version of the computer
was able to
examine 200 million different chess positions per second.
Kasparov took the
first game while Deep Blue won the second. The third,
fourth and fifth games
ended in a draw. On May 11, Deep Blue won the sixth
as well as the match,
3.5 to 2.5. The victory was a huge publicity boost for
IBM. A disgruntled
Kasparov suggested Deep Blue had been aided by some sort
of human assistance
during the games, charges that IBM denied. Kasparov
demanded a rematch, but
instead, IBM retired Deep Blue.
Kasparov retained
his world chess champion title until 2000. In March 2005,
he announced his
retirement from professional chess. In 2007, he became a
candidate for the
Russian presidency.
