This is shameless plagiarism from the 'other place', but it made me chuckle - maybe it will you too:
Teacher asks her class to use the word "contagious" in a sentence. Roland the teacher's pet, gets up and says, "Last year I got the measles and my mum said it was contagious.
"Well done, Roland," says the teacher.
"Can anyone else try?"
Katie, a sweet little girl with pigtails, says, "My grandma says there's a bug going round, and it's contagious."
"Well done, Katie," says the teacher.
"Anyone else?"
Little Irish MARIA jumps up and says in a broad Dublin accent, "Our next door neighbour is painting his house with a 2 inch brush, and my dad says it will take the contagious."
