Not sure why this isn't working :(

The code is attached, but i just don't know why it doesn't work. :(

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for i in items:
      if i =="a":
        continue
      else:
        print i

Here you go:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for i in items:
      if i[0] == 'a':
        continue
      else:
        print(i)

The challenge says If the current item's index 0 is the letter "a", so you need subscript notation to get to the item in items.
