"A Frickin' Elephant"

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! Isn't it wonderful?
