When I was a teaching assistant
one kid could only recognise colours by the names of the Teletubbies with which they corresponded. What colour was grass? Dipsy. etc.

That's quite tragic
but is also making me laugh like a twat.

Poor kid had no idea what letters were
and it took him two terms to learn to spell his name, and he never got the hang of which way up a "W" goes.

He is now 12, and his friends still call him "Lemis".

Aww, poor boy.
This is why we need to bring back Sesame Street! Best kids' programme EVER.
