Jeannettes Hospital Trip

"I was standing on a chair in front of the stove, wearing a pink dress that my grandmother had bought for me. Pink was my favorite color. The dress's skirt stuck out like a tutu, and I liked to spin around in front of the mirror, thinking I looked like a ballerina. But at that moment I was wearing the dress to cook hot dogs, watching them swell and bob in the boiling water." 
Jeannette had noticed that her black dog named Juju was watching her, so she pricked at one of the hot dogs, turned around and fed the hotdog to Juju. Once she continued cooking the hotdogs she felt an enormous amount of hear on her right side, she then noticed her dress was on fire. In shock, she watched the flame crawl up her body, once the flames hit her face she screamed. Her mom came running in, grabbed her and took her to the nabour who then rushed her to the hospital. When she got to the hospital and put onto a stretcher she heard the nurses talk in a loud worried whisper and cut off what was left of her new pink dress. The nurses put Jeannette in a tub of ice and spread ice all over her body. One of the nurses told her she was lucky to be alive. The doctors wrapped half of her body up in bandages. Jeannette liked the hospital. It was quiet, it had a television, the nurses changed her bandages for her, she got chewing gum which she had never had before and she got food every day. Her dad hated the fact that she was in the hospital so 6 weeks after Jeannette was in the hospital her dad Rex, picked her up and carried her out.
