When my son was small, we turned our “love you” affirmations at bedtime into a game; the winner made the other feel most loved. One night, I told him that I loved him so much, my love filled his bedroom and flowed out the windows like a tidal wave into the streets of New York City. Not to be outdone, 6-year-old Quinn said he loved me so much that his love filled every single atom in the entire universe, and there was nowhere I could go where I wouldn’t feel it and know it. He won. — Laura Plybon
我6岁的儿子赢了我儿子小的时候，那时，我们把睡前说“爱你”的日常，变成了一场游戏：就是用说爱你让对方感觉到那“最爱”，便是游戏的赢家。一天晚上，我告诉他我非常爱他，我的爱充满他的卧室，像潮水一样从窗户流到纽约市的街道上。为了不甘示弱，6岁的奎因说，他爱我如此之深，以至于他的爱充满了整个宇宙的每一个原子，我所在每一处，都会感觉到这爱，也会知道这爱。他赢了。Love is not matter, but it’s more than matter. 爱不是物质，但是它又在物质之上，超脱物质。爱有很多，我们的头脑喜欢分类。恋人的爱，轰轰烈烈、缠缠绵绵；亲人的爱，深情款款、润物无声；孩子的爱，纯真简单。Love is not matter, but it’s more than matter.
