Ahead of the most romantic day of the year, Jimmy Kimmel took to the street to ask people what love means, talking to the true authorities on the subject: children.
“Love is when you love somebody, and it’s when you love somebody, and it’s really when you love somebody,” one boy says.
Other children featured in the video explained why they like their own significant others.
“Her hair,” a boy says. “She has beautiful toys.”
But at least one young girl cut through the romantic madness.
“I’m not really into that stuff anymore,” she says. “Like, marrying stuff anymore. I feel like I want to be single now.”
