Elementary School Students Answer Questions About Love

For Valentine's Day, we asked Kindergarten, first- and second-grade students their opinions about love.

Editor's note: Mitchelle Stephenson is  the local editor of Edgewater-Davidsonville Patch. She approached administrators at local elementary schools for their help with a Valentine's Day project where they asked kindergarten through second grade students their opinions about love. The answers are a combination of funny and cute.
