A group of reporters asked a group of 4-to-8-year-old children this question, “What does love mean?” The answers were surprising. The children would answer like they did below.

Rebecca --- age 8

“When my grandmother hurt her knees , she couldn’t bend (弯腰) over and paint her toenails (脚趾甲) any more. So my grandfather would do it for her all the time, even when his hands hurt, too. That’s love.”

Samantha --- age 6

“Love is when someone hurts you, and you get so mad but you don’t shout at her because you know it would hurt her feelings.”

Terry --- age 4

“Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.”

Bethany --- age 4

“I let my big sister pick on (捉弄) me because my Mum says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her.”

Lauren --- age 4

“I know my elder sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new clothes.”

Elaine --- age 5

“Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.”

Clear --- age 5

“My Mummy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.”

Jessica --- age 8
