Jake is five 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?
