Rufus: "Mom, I've got to come up with some words that start with the 'F' sound for school. Does the word 'phoenix' count?"
Fatty: "Well, I would say it counts because it starts with the 'F' sound but it is actually spelled with a 'PH.'"
Boudreaux, chiming in: "Like 'phantom' and 'pharmacy.'"
Rufus ponders for a moment.
R: "Mom, know what happens when a phoenix farts?"
F: "Not so much."
R: "FLAMES shoot out of it's booty! Get it? FLAMING PHOENIX FARTS! There are my three words for school!"
GO JACKIE !! He is, no doubt, kin to cousin Hal Stevens who horrified his teacher, classmates and, as I recall, the local school board with his performance in blackboard spelling. He finished a work, for all to see, that began with the letters FU--. Maybe they, Hal and Jack, can discuss this at the birthday party. I have a gut feeling that Hannah is right along the same thought trends ..... wonderful but unpredictable. I love you ALL.
