The things she knows

Vivian gets more verbal by the day. Yesterday she surprised me by handing back a piece of plain buttered toast with the request: "Ooomm, strawberry. Yummy, yummy."

It used to be that every word she knew had a backstory -- she learned this here, she knows this because..... But now she knows many things that she just knows. "Strawberry," for instance. A while inner life that I know nothing about.
