Polysyndeton
Okay kiddo, so when we use lots of "ands" to connect words or phrases, we call it "polysyndeton".
For example, instead of saying "I have a book and a pencil", we might say "I have a book and a pencil and an eraser and a ruler and a notebook and a pen and a highlighter and a sharpener" - see how we keep using the word "and" to connect everything?
It's a way of adding emphasis and making it seem like there are a lot of things. Kind of like when you count your toys and say "one and two and three and four and five and six and seven and eight and nine and ten!"
Polysyndeton is often used in writing and speeches to create a long, flowing list of ideas or to highlight something important. It can make the words sound more powerful and memorable.
