    How? I have literally no idea when I first learned about the word “fabulous”, or most words for what it’s worth

      I remember contemplating the conservation of mass when I was about 4. Except I didn’t know what it was called. My mom gave us a piece of Double Bubble. My sister cut hers in half and declared she had more than me. I distinctly remember thinking how are the two smaller pieces bigger than the one big piece.

      i guess maybe it depends on the person. i usually remember the moments when i learn things, including words. at the very least I’m pretty confident with whether i knew a certain word while i was in school, before, or after. and i would think a word like fabulous would be more memorable than usual.
