A grade school teacher in Las Milpas asked her students to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence.
Maria put up her hand and said, "My family went to my Abuelito's (Grandfathers) farm, and we all saw his pet cabrito (goat.) It was fascinating."
The teacher said, "that was good, but I wanted you to use the word fascinate, not fascinating."
Enriqueta shyly raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Los Pyramids, and I was fascinated."
The teacher said, "Well, that was good Enriqueta, but I wanted you to use the word fascinate."
Pepito raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Pepito before. She finally gave in and decided there was no way he could damage the word so she called on him.
Pepito said, "My Tia (Aunt) Porfidia has a sweater with ten buttons, but her huge melon sized chi-chis are so big she can only fassen eight."
The teacher cried.
