A teacher asked her students to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence.
Mary was the first to raise her hand, and when called upon said,
"My family went to the Asheville Zoo, and we saw all the animals.
It was fascinating!"
The teacher responded, "That was good, Mary, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate."
Little Sally raised her hand and when called upon said,
"My family went to the Asheville Farmer's Market, and I was fascinated!"
The teacher said, "Good, Sally, but I wanted the word "fascinate" without the suffix!"
Little Billy, known for his terrible language raised his hand.
After a moment of hesitation, the teacher decided that there was no way
Billy could damage the word "fascinate", and called on him.
Billy said, "My sister has a sweater with l0 buttons, but her boobs are so big, she can only fasten 8!"
