Perseverate: To repeat something insistently or redundantly.
Whenever we tell Lauren we're going to the pool -- especially a "big" pool -- she begins to repeat "Want to go to the pool? Want to get in?" a few thousand times, over and over, until the phrases are simplified to:
"A pool? A get in?"
"A pool? A get in?"
"A pool? A get in?"
