Here is a 4 year olds take on Thanksgiving. . . like I could really make this stuff up!
Q:What is Thanksgiving?
A: It means when you do boring stuff like eating chicken and inviting people over.
Q: What kind of food do you eat when it is Thanksgiving?
A: Turkey, chicken mostly and sometimes frogs*
Q: If you could plan Thanksgiving dinner what would you choose to eat?
A: Hot dogs, ketchup, peaches and chocolate milk. I don't want to eat turkey because they have bones and it will make the other turkeys sad.
Q:When did Thanksgiving first start?
A: After Halloween.
Q: Tell me about the first Thanksgiving?
A: The people came over on the Mayflower boat and landed at the Americans. They came there because they wanted to see their friends the pioneers and the Indians were already there. The Indians showed the pilgrims how to grow food and plant grass. And then they made a big circle table so they could all sit down and eat together.
Q: What are some things you are thankful for?
A: Everything in the whole world. (like what?) It's a secret. Well first Carson and then Mommy, Daddy and Spencer. And my toys and the temple.
Q: How do you show you are grateful?
A: By doing good things and eating all my food. I can let Spencer pick out the games he wants to play.
*Parental disclaimer
We have never nor do we plan on eating frogs for Thanksgiving.
