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?    

Now that's funny,
I don't care who you are.
