As far as the grunting and groaning to open the jar, she's mimicking what she sees adults do. She can't really tell they are twisting the top extra hard. She just thinks they're saying magic words. Like my friend's 3 year-old son who, when his grandma gave him a little toddler's workbench for Christmas, picked up the little wooden hammer and started pounding fake nails into the bench while reciting the words he'd heard his daddy say under similar circumstances, i.e., "Fucker! Fucker! Fucker!"
