A Frickin' Elephant!

This was forwarded from our principal to all the faculty and staff at my school today:

"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...

' African Elephant '

Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful?"
