There are those who think there's no way a teenager could know what love really is. But many a wise person, including William Shakespeare, would disagree. Juliet was more tween than teen when she fell for her Romeo. And while not quite Verona, Hayward's Ice Cream in Nashua has been the summer setting for the young and the smitten for more than 70 years. Ben, 18 and Michaela, 17 just starting dating.
Q. Do you think you know what love is? And if so, what is it?
A. "I don't know if I know," said Michaela. "But if I had to guess, I'd say it's when you care more about another person than you do about yourself." Ben said, "I think I know. What love is for me is the feeling of emotion and attraction to a person - to the entire person with every fiber of your soul."
Q. What do you like most about each other?
A. "He makes me laugh," said Michaela. "She's cute as a button," said Ben.
Nashua, N.H.
