An Irish school teacher asks her class to use the word ‘contagious’.
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 grandmother says there’s a bug going round, and it’s contagious.”
“Well done, Katie,” says the teacher “Anyone else?”
Little Irish Sean jumps up and says, in a broad Dublin accent, “Our next door neighbour is painting his house with a two-inch brush, and my dad says it will take the contagious.” |
