I was in the Library, looking for a good book.

I poked around the shelves until I found something with a bright pink cover and shiny gold letters. The Goofy Book of Gags and Giggles, I read. I opened it up.

It was full of hilarious jokes! I started reading and giggling. I bit my lip to try to keep from laughing out loud, but the jokes were too funny. I checked the book out and put it in my backpack until recess.

When it was finally time to go outside, I took the book with me.

"What are you reading, Pinkalicious?" Molly asked.

" A joke book I found", I said. "Listen to this: Where do cows go on the first date?

To the M00vies!"

Molly couldn't stop laughing. We laughed so hard that Alexa and Alison came over to see what was going on. "Pinkalicious has a joke book", said Molly. "Go ahead, Pinkalicious, read them another one."

" Okay," I said. "Why do birds fly south in the winter?"

"Why"? said Alex, Molly, and Alison.

"Because it's too far to walk!" I said.

We Giggled until our tummies hurt. I told them another joke and another. Soon everyone was listening to us. "Pinkalicious, you're hilarious!" one kid said, laughing.

"No she's not," said Tiffany, who was listening the whole time. "Anyone can be funny if they're reading from a book. I bet Pinkalicious doesn't have a real funny bone in her body."

" i do, too!" I shouted, my cheeks turning pink with anger. "prove it," said Tiffany. She challenged me to a laugh-off for the next day.

"You can tell any joke you want, but you have to make it up yourself", she said.

I wasn't sure I could think of a joke as good as the ones in my book, but i agreed.Everyone was watching. What else could I do?

That night, I told my family about my dilemma. "I need to create a joke that's fizzier than pink lemonade, more fun than pink cupcakes, more pinkatastic than pink!" I said. "It has to be the most pinkerrifically funny joke of all time."

" Hey , Pinkalicious. I have a joke," said Peter. "Knock, knock". " Who's there?"

"Pinky, stinky underwear!" Peter practically laughed himself right off his chair.

"Yuck, Peter", I said . "NOT funny. Not funny at all".
