Hello website visitors. I wanted to send a note your way and say Happy Thanksgiving!
My mom has this awful tradition where before we can eat our Turkey we have to share one thing we are most thankful for. There are usually like twenty people waiting to eat and it takes forever, especially when the old people (moms and dads) start sharing because they can’t just say, “I’m thankful for turkey.” Nope. They have to go into some long story about what they are thankful for and why. It’s awful. One time it took almost twenty minutes to go around the table. Do you know what happens to hot delicious turkey when it sits bored next to potatoes for 20 minutes? Well I do. It gets cold. So do the potatoes.
But… I do have to admit the whole, “I’m thankful for…” isn’t a bad idea. It just needs to be done quicker. And in the spirit of Thankfulness I asked all of my closest friends to share what they are most thankful for and I’ve put their answers below. Isaac’s is by far the best!
Unfortunately my mom found out and made me ask Todd so close your eyes when you read his so its hideousness doesn’t make you go blind. I think he is secretly related to Medusa.
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and remember to eat until you almost puke, but not totally puke. It’s a fine line.
What I am most thankful for?
Sue: For Pumpkin Pie. And Apple Pie. And Pecan Pie. Really all of the pies, except key-lime pie. That’s gross.
Roger: For Pluto. Ever since that poor guy has been told he’s not a planet he’s been sitting out there in space with no attention. I want him to know I’m thankful he’s out there, even if he is just a big ball of gas.
Todd: I am very thankful for my brother. I mean, without him in my life I wouldn’t have the pleasure of knowing what living with a worm is like and although he is annoying beyond all belief I recognize that by living with an annoying little worm now, I will take greater pleasure in my life once I go to college and don’t have to live with his wormy self.
Hank: I am thankful for the Pilgrims and Indians who sat down together and thought, “Hey, we need to eat more turkey” because turkey is by far one of the best foods. At school they told us a lot of early settlers ate rabbit almost every meal, imagine if the Pilgrims and Indians had decided on rabbit for Thanksgiving. That would be terrible.
Isaac: I’m thankful for the Best Book of Thanksgiving Jokes. They have some of the best and lamest jokes ever and really I like them both. Lame jokes are just as much fun because they can be so lame they make you laugh harder than the good jokes. Here are a few Thanksgiving jokes, I’ll let you decide if they are lame laugh or funny laugh.
Why did the turkey cross the road twice?
(To prove he wasn’t chicken!)
Where do you find a turkey with no legs?
(Exactly where you left it!)
Why did the turkey sit on the tomahawk?
(To hatchet!)
What’s the most musical part of a turkey?
(The drumstick!)
