From an e-mail:
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?
This e-mail was very timely...
Today, while waiting for her chicken nuggets & fries to cool from the oven, Zoe observed:
“Oh man, those are frickin’ hot!”
Thanks, Aunt Kathy :)
