=**Cotton Candy!!!**=
 * By Emma Templeton**

On the Christmas of 2012 It was a stormy night in Griswald Iowa. The sky was getting darker it started raining, and I got a Cotton Candy Machine from my dad. It was as tall as a table maybe even taller, it was on wheels, it said COTTON CANDY on one side, it had a handle, a rack for the sticks, and a big metal bowl to catch the cotton candy and a plastic lid that hovers over the bowl.

My cousin, uncle, grandma, aunt and I all are looking forward to having YUMMY Cotton Candy. My mouth was watering, I was about to explode I was thinking **//I need Cotton Candy so bad... One thing it smells good, it sounds good, and it is good. I mean who doesn't like Cotton Candy?//** My uncle Tim said "This is gonna be the best cotton candy ever." "My cousin Courtney said " I'm really lookin' forward to this." And my aunt Melissa said " I can't wait."

We pluged it in, turned on the heat AND power as the directions said. We let it heat up for 10 minutes. Then the directions said to turn off both the heat AND power, put your 4 hard candies in or the sugar. We put in 4 jolly ranchers 2 grape and 2 watermellon. We kept reading the directions and it said to turn it back on and it will spin and make Cotton Candy. My cousin and I turned on the heat and power. It sparked red, blue, and yellowish orange. Everyone screamed and jumped back. Me and my cousin re-read the directions it said to only turn on the power, we turned on the power AND the heat. I thought //**ohhh no this thing is gonna blow up.**// //**I thought the house was gonna catch on fire. I was starting to worry if my dad is gonna be mad when he sees what happened.**// My heart was pounding, I was getting sweaty, my stomach was hurting I didn't feel good. My dad soon walked in from outside I was about to cry my cousin and Uncle explained every thing that happened from front to back. My dad didn't get mad. Thank goodness. He veiwed it and said "I'm gonna have to take it apart." My dad found out what was wrong with it a wire caught on fire from the heat and it split in two. My dad said " I'm gonna have to take it back and get a new one bacause this is broke." I was kind of sad because it was so big and amazing.

I hope I get a new one and this time I WILL READ THE DIRECTIONS. So if you get something with instruction/ directions read it all the way through without stoping. Or else it might not turn out the way it's suppose too!
