*Frickin' Elephant!*

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?
