It's funny, isn't it? Babies can't do anything but eat, cry, and stop us from sleeping at night. But we think they're very cute, and we want to do everything for them!
OK, so babies look cute with their fat legs and arms and their big round eyes. But it's not only how they look that makes them cute. It's also the things they do.
When babies learn to speak and walk, we find them cute. This is partly because they make mistakes. They say the wrong word or say a word in a funny way. Think of a little baby learning to walk - lots and lots of mistakes!
But mistakes aren't always cute. Think about it. You ask a friend to dinner. He gets food on his face and orange juice on your kitchen table. You're not happy. But a baby does the same thing, and you think it's cute.
Babies' mistakes are cute because they are young and helpless. We humans know our babies can't survive (生存) without our help.
Like all living things, babies grow up - they get bigger! Do they stop being cute? Maybe a little. But kids, adults (成年人), and much older adults can still be cute.
Small children often play at being adults - they dress up in adults' clothes or put on makeup or do adult things, like "being a doctor" or "teaching school".
Parents can be cute, too. When we see the love between a parent and child, our mind tells us, that's cute!
And then there are cute old people. What makes them cute? Often, it's their behaviour (行为). Older people sometimes do funny things. They are like young people. They show that they're in love, they start new sports, or they like to use modern things like computers or smartphones.
Older people are also cute because they are a little like babies. They can be innocent, and they often need more help than younger people. Again, something in our mind tells us to protect them.
