THE WRITE DIRECTION PROMPT:
Choose your favorite boxed, bagged, or canned food and using all the ingredients write something.
You do have to use all the ingredients.
You do have to use words in body of writing even if used in title.
You do not have to write about the food you have chosen.
You do not have to use them in any kind of order.

GRANDMA’S SPEECH
“My son has asked me to stand in for him tonight,” the lady had to have been in her late eighties, her more salt than pepper hair trying to hang onto an oversized sunflower barrette. She started reading from a piece of paper clutched tightly in her hand, “he has been unavoidably restrained”.
A young woman came up beside her and whispered, “Grandma that note was meant for me.”
“Oh, no it wasn’t young lady; he wanted me to read his speech so you just stand there and behave.” Moving a step away from her granddaughter she started over. “He has been unavoidably restrained” she stated.
“That’s detained, grandma.”
“What?”
“Detained grandma, he was unavoidably detained.”
“That’s what I said, now where was I? I would like to thank all the represervatives of our company for coming tonight.” She stopped talking as the audience burst out in laughter.
“Representatives, grandma,” the young woman whispered, her face glowing with embarrassment.
Turning, one hand on her hip the other pointing at the young woman, she said, “quit interrupting me, you’re spoiling my speech.” Returning her attention once again to the audience she continued.
“I hope you all enjoyed your dinner, but how could anyone have enjoyed those lumpy potatoes is beyond me.”
“GRanDma!”
“Well, they were lumpy and the corn was cold,” she continued, “the vegetable salad was wilted too. Now for the awards I will turn things over to my granddaughter, Lisa”.
“Thank you, grandma,” Lisa started.
“That’s Grandmother to you, young lady,” she said in a huff as she left the stage.
