Betty and I, when we were trying to figure out the name for our blog, had just run accross the following joke that was sent to us - and it seemed quite good timing - as were were frantically preparing to head to Africa!!

From the diary of a Pre-School 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?
