It's a frickin' elephant!

I got this in an email from my friend Shayna yesterday. Wanted to share this with you.
Preschool teacher-
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? Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.
