ohmygosh, this thread reminds me of the story I reda in the CHicken Soup for the Soul series.
It was this girl and she LOVED Salami. But her mother hated it, because she would it it so much. So the girl saved her allowance and bought a big thing of Salami. She put it under her bed because she didn't want her mother to find it and yell at her.
BUT...
She forgot about it and one day while doing spring cleaning, her mother started screamed and beating a large tube-like green furry thing with a broom. The girl ran in and was shocked to see that the Salami had grown a few inches of green mold around it. She girl couldn't stop laughing as her mother bludgended the moldy salami with the head of the broom.
"What is so funny?!" Her mother asked.
"That's a salami."
aaannnddd they both started laughing harder, and that was the end of the story.
._. I couldn't stop laughing when I read it because it was so funny at the time... I was also in 4th grade.
