From the diary of a Pre-School Teacher:

My five-year old students are learning to read.? Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,?"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"

I took a deep breath, then asked...."What did you call it?"

"It's a frickin' elephant! 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?
