SALT LAKE CITY — Kids are full of wisdom.

Bill Cosby knew it, as do any parents who have found themselves scratching their head or laughing hysterically at the latest school assignment they found in their child's backpack.

Two recent children's school assignments have made the rounds online — one for being cute, and the other for being downright hilarious.

Six-year-old Emma K. tried to answer a question for a school assignment that men and women alike have been trying to answer for ages: What is love?

For mom, 'I love you more than ... cow.'

"Love is when you're missing some of your teeth but you're not afraid to smile because you know your friends will still love you even though some of you is missing," she wrote.

Emma has even become a little Internet-famous for correctly using "your" and "you're." (see photo gallery for full letter.)

The child of a Reddit user had different ideas about love.

The user's daughter brought home a poem with an ending all his own:

"I love you more than rainbows and beautiful blue skies," the type on the page read. "I love you more than buttercups and wings of butterflies."

Finally, it was the daughter's turn to fill in the blank.

"I love you more than ... cow."
