for my children while thinking of my granddaughters

Jake is five years old 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? - Becky Day
