I think that Joy has a really good vocabulary for a girl her age - largely because she bravely tries out new words that she doesn't totally understand, putting them in sentences to see how they work.

Last night as we were falling asleep (I should say, I was falling asleep and Joy was tossing and turning and asking for water and talking incessantly about anything she could come up with), Joy was digging for gold with her finger so far up her nose all you could see was her last knuckle.

I asked her, "Are you searching for treasure?"

"No, I'm trying to find my destiny."
