I Know Everything

One day I was playing with a young grandchild when I said, “You know what?”

“Yes,” she said.

I was not expecting this answer, because my question was rhetorical, meant only to get her attention, followed by what I wanted to say in the first place.

“What do you know?” I asked.

“That you love me.”

“You know a lot.”

“I know everything.”

And so we are taught by a child. If we know we are loved, we know everything that matters.
