Sticky Situation
We're in the stickiest situation since Sticky the Stick Insect got stuck on a sticky bun.

Saturday was Fun Fair day at the kids' school. It's the BIG fundraiser for the year; basically a carnival with those giant inflatable jumping things, food, a silent auction (we scored $50 a month for Magic Oven pizza for a year), temporary tatoos and all kinds of fun.
Craig and I volunteered to do an hour at the Cotton Candy booth.
Sticky.
Yes, it's all ove r me and in my hair. It was windy and I swear the wind was bouncing off Craig's machine and into mine.
We treated ourselves after our shift was over. Don't worry about Xander's long face, he ate plenty.
Fun! We have Family Fun Night at our school, but I never volunteer to run the cotton candy machine!

I've seen a few of my coworkers operating a cotton candy machine. It looks like even in a non-windy environment that it is a very messy task.

My Aunt worked the Cotton Candy Machine one summer at the EX...to this day she can't stand the stuff.
My Sister on the other hand, Loves it in a most unnatural way!

i wonder if you could spin that stuff and knit with it? Would make edible clothing? Hmmm...(mind go to ditch).

I can't even remember the last time I had cotton candy. I do remember it being sticky though.
