They Sure are Advanced, Eh?

So, yesterday at school an aide told me there was graffiti on the Big Toy -- three letters written everywhere some idiot could reach with their magic marker. The letters were P F L, which the aide assumed was someone's initials... er, no.

On the backside of the play structure the property defacer had written out the whole thing: Pimp For Life.

Nice.

One of the kindergarten teachers heard about it from one of her kids, who had carefully sounded out the words as instructed in her class: P,p, ih, ih, mmmm, p, p. F, f, orrr. L, l, ih -- no, eye, eye -- ffff.

The teacher wanted to make sure the custodian knew about the graffiti and was taking steps to remove it, but underneath the disgust at the whole fact that the words were there for the kids to see, I think she was a teeeency bit proud that her five and six year olds could sound out the words...
