Ah’m your Huckleberry

Teacher Sally Loveless was watching her fourth-graders at Sandpoint’s Washington Elementary file out the door for recess, when she noticed one was downtrodden. What’s up? she asked the tyke. “I left my dollar for the salami at home,” the youngster replied. Sally: For what? Fourth-grader: “The salami.” Sally: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Fourth-grader: “The big salami that killed all the people.” Seems the school was raising money for victims of the tsunami and the little one’s heart was in the right place — even though his vocabulary wasn’t.
