Awesome. Reminds me of a fun conversation my best friend had with her three-year-old friend once. We called the three-year-old friend Beautiful-Rad-Girl:
B-R-G, in the mall: Want to see the alligator! My friend: The alligator? B-R-G: Continues to insist on seeing the alligator. Friend takes her to the Nature Conservancy. Takes her to the stuffed-animal aisle. No dice. Wants the alligator, the alligator!!!
They pass the escalator and Beautiful-Rad-Girl perks up -- there it is -- the alligator!!
F: You want to go on the escalator?
BRG: Yes! Alligator!
F: Escalator, BRG. Can you say Escalator?
BRG: Alligator!
F: ESC-alator. Say "esc", Beautiful-Rad-Girl.
BRG: I can't SAY "esc"! (says it perfectly). Spends next 15 minutes riding the escalators up and down, happy as the proverbial clam.
