A Frickin' Elephant

A Teacher's Dilemma....
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.

A very accurate picture of today's language skills. But still hillarious!
