Elephant Picture

Elephant Picture

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?
