Kid Speak 2

So Alexa comes home from school a week or so ago and informs me that the kindergarten class did not come to PE that day with her pre-K class (as they normally would do). I inquire a bit to see if they were on a field trip or doing something else special. She said "No, they were busy phonic-ing . . . (long, long pause) . . . doing phonics and Mrs. Jump forgot."
