Megan slept fitfully. She dreamed of car crashes, and of cats that multiplied until there were thousands of them, all wailing from hunger, and of strange notes written with red marker in a foreign language that she couldn’t read.

At breakfast Mrs. Perk said, “Be sure you’re home by four-thirty this afternoon. “We need to leave for the balloon festival by five, or we’ll never find a place to park, and I want to eat dinner before we go.”

“We can eat after we get there,” Kylie said. “Last year they sold cotton candy and ice-cream cones and caramel corn.”

“We are not eating junk for dinner,” Mrs. Perk said.

“Can we buy cotton candy for dessert?” Kylie asked.

“Cotton candy is pure sugar,” Mrs. Perk said.

“I know,” Kylie said. “That’s why I like it. Please, Mom?”

“We’ll see.”

“If they have pink and blue,” Kylie said, “I’m going to get pink, and I’m going to eat it without using my fingers.”

“Your face will be a sticky mess,” Megan said.

Kylie began to sing:

“Take, take, take a bite

Of my cotton candy.

Let it melt inside my mouth

Sugar tastes just dandy.”
