The skittle story. :)

So I just recently got back from Shadyside park, a place where i love to chill with my third sister, Emma Blake. :) So we get there and run and blade around for a bit, get shocked my electrical fences, name horses names like buttercup and afternoon, rollerblade some more, then leave. But before we leave Kt decides to be the best sister and second-sister ever and buy us a pack of skittles from the vending machine. So she gives us a buck in change and we put in in the machine and click the number and all that jazz. Then it does that thing were the spiraly thing unspins just enough so it leaves the skittle bag hanging, but doesnt drop it.


Remember Emma and I were both hungry and tired, and man did we want those skittles. She stood guard to make sure no one was watching and I slammed into the thing as hard as I could hoping to shake it loose. But it was no use, so we went to plane b. We ran back to the car and scrounged u a few more pennies from kt hoping to re-buy it. But it wasnt till I put about 3 bucks in pennies in the machine that we realized it doesnt take pennies. hence the pile of them that kept coming out of the bottom. But being the smart girls we are, we didnt notice them till they legit started falling out of the machine, leading to another 5 minutes wasted. We headed back to the car to try and find some regular coins, and Emma finally found a couple nickels and dimes in a board game box i really dont know why we had in our car... so we go back and put all THOSE coins in only to have the stupid machine keep telling us to put in more money. By this time we had been at it at least 20 minutes and kt was about to drive away without us and our precious skittles. So we went back to the car and kt sent me back one more time to push the coin return button so she could at least get her money back. I told her is wasnt working, but she made me go anyway so me and Emma ran back and starting pushing it. And all of these silver coins started coming out. It was like heaven. :) Since all that had been coming out before were pennies.



So, being the persistent ppl we are, we loaded the machine back up with all our new found quarters, and lo and behold it worked. :) We started jumping up and screaming and after 25 minutes of banging, screaming, scrounging, and pleading with the skittles, we finally got two bags for the price of one. :) Ill tell you, skittles have never tasted so good. :)
