A kindergartner was practicing spelling with magnetic letters on the refrigerator: cat, dog, dad, and mom had been proudly displayed for all to see. One morning while getting ready for the day, he bounded into the room with his arms outstretched.

Just then, a little voice called from the kitchen: «Mom? How do you spell ‘zilla’?»
