In an elementary school English class, kids are learning the word “contagious”. Teacher calls on students, asking them to use it in a sentence.

• “Susan?”

• “I had a flu and mommy made me stay home for 3 days because I was contagious!”

• “Very good. What about you, Johnny?”

• “Our neighbor Mrs. Henderson has started painting her fence last night, daddy says it’s gonna take the contagious!”
