Phonics Tiles and Secret Messages

This is what I found on the kitchen table this morning. Mr. Garvey had been playing with the phonics tiles and left them out. Mr. Edwards found them and could not resist playing with them also. He created the following pairs of words: "Sick Lice", "OperA Seat", "clay Gun", "thrEE YAKS", "Dill Heater", "blank Test", and my personal favorite "unstable Boy".

As I stared at these I couldn't help but feel a message lay in there amongst the white tiles. I moved them around and came up with this subconscious secret message from Mr. Edwards concerning his upcoming birthday: "HAS LEGO SETS BDAY. 'K? Of course I didn't need a secret message to know this. It is all Lego all the time with Mr. Edwards.
