Radical Tot?

A 4-year-old boy who mispronounced the word cucumber as cooker bomb so freaked out his nursery school teachers that they recommended him for a de-radicalization program.

This happened in Great Britain, where educators have been instructed to report any and all "extremist" behavior to the authorities; evidently they couldn't keep a stiff upper lip when faced with the horror of a preschooler with pronunciation problems. In their defense, it wasn't just the way the boy garbled the name of the salad staple: He had also drawn a stick figure of a man cutting a cucumber with a giant knife.

"When you look at me, from where do I look like a terrorist?" the boy's mother asked school authorities, according to The Telegraph. "Well, did Jimmy Savile look like a pedophile?" she says an official responded.
