The other night Aden was giving daddy a lecture on love. It never ceases to amaze me the vast amount of knowledge she soaks up in daily life or how sometimes she just sounds wise beyond her years. Sometimes, when she's on a roll on a particular subject, you know, really feeling her groove...it is easy to image a ring of bald, robed people sitting cross legged around her soaking up her infinite wisdom.
On this particular night she felt the need to expound on the qualities of love. Apparently daddy just wasn't getting it. So he asked her "But Aden, how do you know when it's love?" And she answered matter of factly:
Love smells like a red flower
Love tastes like pie
Love lights up darkness
So, dear readers, I hope you find a way to bask in today's light. May you stop and smell a red flower, and taste the sweetness of a good slice of pie. :)

mpressive..a genius poet-in-the-making you have there...
Could that be any sweeter...or more profound? LOVE it, Kim
We really don't give them enough credit. How insightful she is!
What a wise little girl, picking things up from her Mama perhaps? I love the last one, Yes Love does light up the darkness.
Precious.
Shes so sweet. Such a good girl.
Now tell her that love is all about sharing. Such as getting that raspberry cream cheese pastry recipe and sharing it with me and danni.....
Please tell Aden that I shall write out her words and place them in a special place in my recipe book and then I shall always enjoy them when I am making my special pie.
Oh that is beautiful. Smile. She is so wise for her age. Give her a big hug for me. And say thanks for lighting up our life today.
Children can be so wise! Maybe it's because they are so innocent and can see things clearly.
oh, that is sweet. and very wise.
about your hair color- mine got waaaaaaaaay darker too. didn't realize it was a hormone thing. good to know!
Yup, sometimes daddies have to be reminded of things.
Tell Aden thanks for the uplifting and perfect definitions of love.
What a sweet kid. And old soul just like her Momma!
That is so sweet! Love lights up the World.
warren- she's something alright!
mandie- You're right, we really don't. She always amazes me with how well she grasps concepts others would expect to be "over her head."
kim-Glad you enjoyed, friend. :)
mim-who me?! lol
not hannah- indeed!
marcee- you're shameless!! hahahaha
grammy-aww, glad you like it, and I will! :)
Alice, aww....that is very sweet. I will most definitely tell her her friend from across the pond loved her words! :)
nancy-you just might be right, with the innocence comes the clarity.
mandi-well, yes, hormones do make your hair change color. My friend Ali says that some people just go thru a natural change every 7 years or so. Not only may their hair change colors, but textures as well!!
ceecee-Hahaha. True. Although I have to admit, I'm pretty lucky in my man, he is a very open and loving kind of man....but Aden still felt he needed the lesson anyway! :)
linda-glad you enjoyed! :)
kim- awww...*blush*
