Favorite Passage: "his mother give him apple pie" -Chapter 14

I like this passage because at the end of Bompies stories they always end up with "his mother give him apple pie" except for one. The only reason is just because she's happy his alive. No matter what crazy thinks Bompie would of done, apple pie he would receive at least from his mother anyway.
