Elephant Picture

**MSFixR** · 02-26-2008, 08:40 AM

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! Isn't it wonderful?

8. But I don't see why you would think liking that was racist.
