INSTRUCTIONS: Add punctuation to the following paragraphs. Include underlining. (Do not eliminate any punctuation already in the paragraph.)     On July 6, 2006 when I helped my son service his vending machines, I found this job could be a challenge. Before we left the house we had to fill large plastic containers with the candy, including Snickers Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Hershey chocolate bars Skittles, and Kit Kats. After we loaded the candy, along with boxes of chips and cases of pop into the back of his truck I was already tired but off we went. At the first stop, we unloaded some boxes carried them to the machines and prepared to restock them. My sons job was to open the machines take out the money, and then bring in more supplies. My job was to feed pop into the machine

without dropping any cans. I did all right on the first machine but on the second one, I dropped a Dr. Pepper that spewed sticky pop into my face my hands my clothes and the ground. After that, I tried to be more careful but I managed to explode two more cans. I learned that servicing vending machines in the summertime in Phoenix Arizona can be trying because when the cans become hot, they explode easily. Not only that, but the chocolate had to be kept cool or we had melted candy bars. Five locations and three hours later we headed back home where we had to unload the unused or now damaged soda and snacks.

What will be an ideal response?
