Women of W.A.R.The Twelve Days of ARRA Voting
What Love Sounds Like is a sweet story filled with self-discovery, romance and sugar-loaded foods. Mia Windsor, an outback speech pathologist, uses food as a fun way for orphaned four-year-old Tilly to practice her clear ‘c’ talking. Whether it be eating popcorn to discover where the back of the throat ‘c’ sound comes from or using fruit loops to make the sound correctly, food is a vital ingredient of Tilly’s speech therapy. Food also links corporate-cynic Kade Reid to the childhood he’d never had.
It seems fitting that any canvassing for ARRA votes involves the food featured in What Love Sounds Like. It also seems fitting, as my daughter is still singing her favourite Christmas song, I use the following format.
On the twelfth day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me twelve chocolate chip cookies.
On the eleventh day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me eleven lemonade scones.
On the tenth day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me ten fancy cupcakes.
On the ninth day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me nine cups of caramel popcorn.
On the eighth day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me eight birthday cakes.
On the seventh day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me seven sprinkle sandwiches.
On the sixth day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me six cones of ice-cream.
On the fifth day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me five glasses of pirate punch.
On the fourth day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me four bowls of fruit loops.
On the third day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me three scoops of gelato.
On the second day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me two characters – a hero in need of fun and laughter and a heroine in need of acceptance.
On the first day of ARRA voting my Escape author sent to me one little girl desperate for the loving warmth of a new family.
Thanks so much to all the readers who made it possible to final in four ARRA categories and wishing all the very best to all the other finalists.
Happy voting eating.
