A little nonplused, (because, seriously, they're teaching the Universal Law of Gravitation in kindergarten but on the reading front, she's still learning what a "W" sounds like?) I said, "Did you learn that from your teacher?"

Good for her!

Well, Scooby Do certainly doesn't get enough credit for his infinite wisdom. Very cute story! :-)
