a conversation

Me: So how was school today, buddy?
N: Good. I did a new song.
Me: Cool. What song?
N: Mary has a vigature!
Me: Mmmmmm, do you maybe mean little lamb?
N: Uh, no (said emphatically)! Mary has a vigature.
Me: So how does it go?
N: (to the tune of Mary had a little lamb) Mary had a vigature. A vigature. A vigature. Mary had a vigature and Gabriel was his name.
Me: (Assuming they were practicing for the Christmas concert): Do you maybe mean “visitor”?
N: (Big sigh). Mom, watch my lips (and moves in very close so I can fully appreciate his facial movements). Vig-a-ture. Vig-a-ture. Vigature. Not lamb. Not visitor… VIG.A.TURE. Ok? Now do you understand?
Me: Got it!
