My first exposure to English was through this series, Peter and Jane. Goes like the usual, “Peter has a dog named Pet.” Or the ultra-boring repetition, “Peter likes to play. Jane likes to play. Pet likes to play.” So boring that I only read it when Mom was looking, and when she isn’t, I steal my elder brothers’ books to read. I don’t get it though. Once you already know how to read and understand complete sentences made of more than ten words, why the heck was Mom will insistent on making me read sentences made of three almost-monosyllabic words?!
I think on some other parts of the world, it’s Dick and Jane. Or something like that. But whatever. All that to learn English.

Pat, the dog? I think it’s Pet. :P Because I always thought it was weird that they’d call their pet “Pet".
