My grandpa and my uncle names are Dexter. I never knew my grandpa but I believe he was a very handy man and had lots of skills to teach. He was a hard worker on the farm. That's how I'll remember this word.

Alliteration

Definition: (I will let dictionary.com take care of this one for me)- the commencement of two or more stressed syllables of a word group either with the same consonant sound or sound group (consonantal alliteration), as in from stem to stern, or with a vowel sound that may differ from syllable to syllable (vocalic alliteration), as in each to all.

I love alliterations because my name is an alliteration! I just hope I don't marry someone with the last name with the letter of K...KKK. (I don't have a middle name)

You may recognize the well known rhyme,
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers;
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked;
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
