A teacher asked her students to use the word \u201cfascinate\u201d in a sentence.<\/p>\n
Molly eagerly raised her hand and said, \u201cMy family visited my grandfather\u2019s farm, and I was fascinated by his sheep.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNice try,\u201d the teacher replied, \u201cbut I wanted you to use the word \u2018fascinate,\u2019 not \u2018fascinated.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Next, Sally volunteered. \u201cWe went to Rock City, and the trip was fascinating.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood sentence,\u201d said the teacher, \u201cbut again, I need the exact word \u2018fascinate.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Little Johnny\u2019s hand shot up.<\/p>\n
The teacher hesitated. Johnny had a reputation for unexpected answers. Still, she figured there was no possible way he could misuse a simple word like \u201cfascinate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reluctantly, she called on him.<\/p>\n
Johnny stood up and said, \u201cMy Aunt Carol has a sweater with ten buttons, but because she\u2019s so well-endowed, she can only fasten eight.\u201d<\/p>\n
The teacher blinked in confusion.<\/p>\n
Johnny smiled and added, \u201cThat means her chest can fascinate!\u201d<\/p>\n
The teacher buried her face in her hands as the class erupted with laughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
