I am confused on the context of the python Shopping List challenge question

Here are the details of the specific challenge question: "Same idea as the last one. My loopy function needs to skip an item this time, though. Loop through every item in items. If the current item's index 0 is the letter "a", continue to the next one. Otherwise, print out every member of items."

I am confused about whether I should care about specifically index 0 or any "current" index that has only the letter "a" in general as then loopy function goes though the for loop? This function prints out every member of items except the items that have only the letter "a" but it did not like it. Is it the 0th index or any current index in general that the program needs to skip if it encounters the only letter "a"? The instructions for the second sentence of what this particular challenge task is ambiguous and needs more clarification.

def loopy(items): 
    # Code goes here 
          for item in items: #Goes though items list in loopy argument 
              if items[0] == "a": #Skip printing elements that are exactly "a" 
                    continue 
              else: 
                    print(item) #Print everything else other than elements containing "a".
