Second Graders Write What They Are Thankful For--a chuckle for your day

My daughter is doing student teaching in the Payson, Utah area and working with second graders. When asked what they are thankful for, here are a few of their responses.

"I'm thankful for food, because when I'm sick I can eat healthy food like apples, bananas, oranges, and pears, and I will not die painfully."

"The thing I'm most thankful for is the earth because it makes us not die in outer space and that would not be fun at all. It gives us gravity so we do not float away. And it lets me breathe and that's cool."

"The thing I am most thankful for is bones because if we didn't have bones in our body we would be a giant body blob. And we would look like a mud puddle."

And I am thankful for little kids who say what they think, and make me laugh when they do. Oh yeah, and hot running water!! I love that!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I love how you always say you are thankful for hot running water. I'm glad that you haven't lost your appreciation for it after all these years! :)

Cute post!

You deserve a GOLD STAR for hunting them all down. If you need me to overnight some from Utah let me know . . .

What part of Arizona - I do have nieces and nephews in Gilbert that are VERY familiar with the Walmart game ;)
