Out of the Mouths of Kids


The teacher asked her class of eight-year-olds to use a sentence containing the word fascinate. Molly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my granddad's farm, and we saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."
The teacher said, "That was good, Molly. But I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate,' not 'fascinating.'"
Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Rock City and was fascinated."
The teacher said, "Well, that was good, Sally. But I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate.'"
Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because Little Johnny had burned her several times before. But she finally decided she had to be fair and give him a chance. She also thought there was no way he could damage the word 'fascinate,' so she called on him.
Johnny said, "My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her boobs are so
big she can only fasten eight."
The teacher sat down and cried.
