如果有人问你：在你眼中爱是什么?你会怎样回答呢?张口却又闭口，很多时候我们成年人在被问到爱是什么的时候，总觉得自己都有一个沉淀在心中的定义，可真正让你说出来的时候，就不知道该如何下口。生活在现实世界的我们，成长了自己，却也模糊了爱在我们心中的定义。

　　下面是老师在课堂上对一群4到8岁的孩子们问了同样的问题，他们的回答天真、无暇，却也意味深长，谁说不是呢，爱 就是这种简简单单，就是这么朴实，爱，是来自一颗颗真实诚恳的心灵表达。

　　A group of teachers posed the question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds: what is love?

　　"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." ...Rebecca - age 8.

　　"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." ...Billy - age 4

　　"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." ...Karl - age 5

　　"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French Fries without making them give you any of theirs." ...Chrissy - age 6

　　"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." ...Terri - age 4

　　"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." ...Danny - age 7

　　"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss." ...Emily - age 8

　　"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate." ...Nikka - age 6

　　"There are two kinds of love. Our love and God's love. But God makes both kinds of them." ...Jenny - age 8

　　"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." ...Noelle - age 7

　　"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." ...Tommy - age 6

　　"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." ...Cindy - age 8

　　"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." ...Clare - age 6

　　"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." ...Elaine - age 5

　　"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." ...Chris - age 7

　　"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." ...Mary Ann - age 4

　　"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." ...Lauren - age 4

　　"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." ...Karen - age 7

　　"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." ...Jessica - age 8

　　And the final one: Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest that he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a 4-year-old child whose next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap and just sat there.

　　When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
