"Family Folklore"... By Emily McBride

It was a melting hot summer day, my two older sisters were younger, they cut up bananas and buried them in a mountain of sugar and put them in the freezer, like our family has always done. Melissa being the youngest and greediest tried to sneak the largest, yellowest banana she has ever seen. It was larger then the moon, more yellow than the sun, and as sweet as 5 cups of sugar. Sneakly she popped it in her mouth faster than a nascar racecar. Suddenly Melissa turned black and blue, she was choking! Faster than you can say supercalafragalisticexpialadocious, Adrianne was over at Melissa's side and performed the heimlich maneuver. The banana flew out of Melissas mouth and flew across the kitchen! Adrianne had saved Melissa's life! And to Melissa's disapointmet Adrianne found out that she had taken the best banana. They were devastated neither of them got to enjoy the delicious sugar covered banana
