Jake is five years old and learning to read. He points to a
picture in a zoo book and says, "Look, Mama! It's a frickin'
elephant!"
Deep breath... "What did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant, Mama! It says so on the picture!"
and so it does... "A f r i c a n Elephant."
Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful?
