What's YOUR favorite f-word

Really, this is completely innocent.

It isn't uncommon for me to be looking up phonics stuff online. Even though most of my students are adults who know basic spelling/pronunciation patterns, some of them are missing things here and there. Today I was searching phonics patterns for the f sound to see if more than f and ph exist as common spellings. I came across a worksheet made for kindergartners. It had the standard upper case and lower case letter f for their little hands to trace, then continue to copy along the dotted line. Below that were pictures in bubbles of objects that start with the letter f: five, fish, flower, frog, and the like.

At the bottom of the page, just above an empty bubble, in what I assume is standard text for all the letters of the alphabet, are the instructions, "Draw your favorite f word."

I might draw a faucet.
