Jake is 5 and learning to read. He points at 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?
