Patterns: A Conversation With Luke

In the car Wednesday morning, on the way to school.

• Luke: Mommy, what’s for dinner tonight?
• Me: I’m not sure, why? What do you want?
• Luke: I want pizza!
• Me: We just had pizza Monday for dinner.
• Luke: I know. It will be a patterin [sounds similar to splattering].
• Me: A what?
• Luke: A patterin. Like chicken, pizza, chicken, pizza….

(And yes, we had chicken for dinner Tuesday night.)
