  • A Conversation With: Luci (age 4)

    We are sitting in the foyer of Chili's, waiting on a table.   

    Luci: Mommy, where is the dividerater?

    Mommy: The what?

    Luci: The di-vi-do-ra-ter.

    Mommy:  Oh, the dividerater.  Granddaddy has it.  

    Luci:  Can you ask Dandaddy to give me the dividerater? 

    Mommy:  Yes.  What does the dividerater do?

    Luci:  It dividerates when our table is ready.

    Mommy: Luci, how many syllables does dividerater have?

    Luci holding up fingers: di-vi-do-ra-ter. five.  

    Mommy:  That's good, baby.  How many syllables are in Lucille?

    Luci with the fingers: Lu-ci-ell.  Three.  

    Mommy:  In Texas you're correct.
