I had just eaten my dinner when my Nana came in with some pudding. It was a cake with lumpy custard filling up the bowl. “Thanks,” I whimpered quietly. I looked up when I saw everyone else tasting it, so I decided to as well. “Yuck!” I screamed at the top of my voice. The custard tasted disgusting so I asked if I could leave the table as I couldn't bear to look at it any more. When I got out of the room I went up the stairs to wash my mouth. “Phew,” I sighed as the taste had left.

As I thought this day could not get any weirder it did. When I went to my cousin’s house we had custard for pudding, and the custard tasted like a three course meal like Willy Wonka’s bubble-gum. For starters it was nachos with cheese and salsa. For mains it was fish and chips with batter bits. Last of all for pudding it was banoffee pie. As weird as it seems that wasn't the weird bit, the weird bit was that the previous day I'd had that meal. The weirder bit was when my cousins tasted it, it tasted like custard.

A long time ago there was a boy who liked custard and every day he went on a long journey to get all the ingredients to make his mouth watering pudding. But then on the other side of the village he heard that the entrance was closed. So he had to go through tunnels. He sneaked to the other side of the wall to get all the ingredients he needed to make it. Once he collected the many ingredients he sneaked back home without being caught. He quickly made it but he put too much sugar in it so the custard tasted like sick!

For Christmas I got a diary but when I put the batteries in it suddenly I whizzed of to a different place at first I couldn't make out where I was but then I saw people carrying heavy blocks of stone. I wounded what they were doing because people use cranes to lift heavy objects. Then it came to me to me the diary must of teleported me to ancient Egypt! Then a horse came galloping down the sandy desert with a chariot hooked on to the horse with a person who looked like a king. “Hello who are you?”

…But when I put the batteries in it…

I ran. I ran away from the bomb. It must have been thirty minutes until I stopped and looked around…I was back where I was standing next to a nine metre tall deathly black BOMB. “Two minutes left,” it boomed... Then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a sticker on the bomb…PLEASE PUT BATTERIES INSIDE ME it read. Some batteries had been stuck to the side with sticky-tape and I was tempted to put them in side. I gently plopped them in and prepared for something, something good or bad. Nothing happened. BOOM. I turned around...

When I opened the smallest present on Christmas day I thought it would be rubbish and didn’t do anything at all but, when I ripped the wrapping paper of it, it was what I always dreamed of getting. It was a small but brilliant plane with fold out wings. I opened the box very carefully so I did not break it. As soon as I sore it I ran to a small shelf where we kept the batteries but when I put the batteries in it, it started to shake. The next thing I know it fell to the ground.

My brother got a megaphone for Christmas, but when I put the batteries in it, he decided to shout right into it! He was trying to be mischievous, but lucky for me, the volume was turned right down, so only his shout could be heard, and not the massive sound from the megaphone. He stared open-mouthed, because he didn't think it would have a volume slider. I laughed at him and then (through a fit of giggles) said, “It has a volume slider you know! And anyway, why did you do that?” He grabbed the megaphone and yelled into it.

One early morning on my 7th birthday, I had opened all my presents but there was one present that I really wanted to play with, which was a pink mini scooter, that you put dolls in that was controlled by remote. Sadly I had to put the batteries in first. …but when I put the batteries in... they didn't work,

Which was a bit strange because they were band new and I put them in right so I went to ask my mum about it and she said, “You’re so silly you put the old ones in! “Oh!” I said!

I got a pink electronic dog for Christmas but when I put the batteries in it I had to wait two measly hours to play with it. But I did not mind waiting because when the two hours were up I was jumping out of my skin. This exciting time was finally here. I screamed as loud as I could and probably the whole world could hear. When I picked it up I could not put it down it was so amazingly fluffy and it was the most beautiful coloured rosy pink that I had ever seen. I loved it!

Today it is Christmas and I've got this amazing toy it’s an I Pod I play with my I Pod everyday it’s my favourite toy. It can play music, play games and much more this is why it’s my favourite toy! But when I put the batteries in and it went, "BANG" and I was so astonished that my favourite toy had gone Bang and it will never work ever again. This was okay because one week later I got a refund and I got my I Pod back although I still don’t trust my I Pod because of what it did last week…

One dark and misty morning I woke up in a mind chilling mansion. I could barely see but I saw a tiny light, it was a small torch. I got my lighter out and set the end on fire. As I slowly walked down the long lasting corridor of art. All the pictures were scary like a man all ripped up and blood squirting out of him! Then I found a long corridor. At the end I saw a massive machine. It said control me!

But when I put the batteries in, I heard ticking, swishing and drilling sounds.

Dear Diary, 22/01/14

Today is the day after my birthday. I woke up at exactly 7:44. As I ran down the stairs my heart was full of joy. Mum, dad, Hollie and Alfie followed me down I went straight to the living room and inside were about 50 presents all wrapped up addressed to me. A smile rose upon my face I jumped up and down screaming. Dad said to open his present first I ran to it and ripped it open inside was a Furby my no.1 present …but when he put the batteries in... it shouted, “happy birthday!”

There was a young geeky boy called Tom. He lived a ginormous house because of his family being rich. The day that he woke it was CHRISTMAS day! Which Tom thought was the best day. When he eventually got to go down his long, windy stairs and into the huge lounge all he could see was presents everywhere! After he had opened all of his presents he could see a gigantic present in a box. It was a mac book pro but when I put the batteries in it he felt incredibly excited.

In my bedroom there is a doll sitting on top of my wardrobe. She is a very rusty, old doll. I named her Polly she is just like my best friend. We always used to play together, well two years ago but I still call her my best friend. When you look at her she just looks like any ordinary doll… But when I put the batteries in it, she comes to life with her big blue bubble eyes shining. The way she smiles makes me so happy, and she even talks. This doll is a one in a million.

I was about to play on my brand new game that Santa had got me, but then I released that it was not charged. But when I put the batteries in it all of the characters from the games all jumped out at me… 

There was Mario, Peach, Warrior, Mickey, Mini and Woody; it was like a non-stopping character machine. The first thing that came into my mind was to make friends with them all. So I did. 

Suddenly in the morning I woke up in the middle of the night and woody and his army appeared. I shouted “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Today it was Christmas and it was really fun but the main present was a toy robot. When I opened it I couldn't believe my eyes, a toy robot. Anyway I told my mum to go and get some batteries and when I put the batteries in it burst to life and I tried to catch it but it was too fast for me and my mum was out-side. I went to get her and we both came zooming in like rockets and mum found a remote in the box so we both turned it off and were so relieved!

In the morning on my 7th birthday I opened a toy guinea pig from my Mum and Dad but when I put the batteries in two days later my guinea pig stopped working and I started to cry I was real up set so I had to take it back to Argos witch I thought was a real shame so I told my mum and dad please may I have something to replace it and so we went and they got me a toy dog and I was so pleased and it still works today.

Based on a true story!

When I opened the smallest present out of all of that I received was shocked that my mum had brought me a wind-up toy. It had a design of a polar bear that went all around the toy. “Can I play with it yet?” I begged my family. My mum nodded her head as she walked away to get changed. I was excited until I saw that it needed batteries to work. As I stood up I found 2 of them sitting tiredly on the chair, so I picked them up, placed them inside and waited when something bizarre happened…

Today is the day that my uncle comes to see me, he said he would bring me a fabulous present I wonder what it will be.  I was watching TV when I heard a knock on the back door and I know who it is. I jumped up from my sofa and ran to the back door and I could see my uncle. I let him in and he said, “Here is your present.” I looked at him and smiled. I took the present out of his hand and opened it but when I put the batteries in it broke.

For Christmas I got a book that reads stories to you when you put batteries in it. As soon as I got it but when I put the batteries in instead of telling me stories it pied me in the face. When I opened my eyes I was outside so I walked into my house and there I saw ninety-nine cute dolls that looked exactly like me one said you’re my best friend and then the others copied. As they said it they started to move closer to me I tried to get out but I was locked in…
