Rib-bon! Rib-bon!

We were writing birthday letters today, and I was previewing a pictorial dictionary of birthday words. One of the words was "ribbon" (because, hey, you might want to write something about ribbon). Alita, my spunky Russian student, looks at me and goes, "Like a frog, Mr. Graham? Ribbb-bon? Ribbb-bon?"

So I gave her an overexaggerated stinkeye and she waved her hand breezily. "I just kidding, Mr. Graham. I know it not the frog."

Cute.
