But first, I wanted to share a story about Ciaran's Junior Kindergarten Thanksgiving celebration. The kids made these adorable little turkey hand-print thingies to bring home, with a Thanksgiving poem printed around it that the teachers wrote. So, after I oohed & aahed over his artwork, he turned and asked me in the sweetest little voice, "Mommy, what are you thankful for?"
I told him I was thankful for him, Daddy, our house,
"Oh," I said. "And did your teacher also ask you what you were thankful for?"
"Y-es".
"What did you say?"
He looked at me incredulously and said "Mom, I told her I was thankful for Moose!"
I know they have a difficult job, but man, sometimes I envy those JK teachers. Some of the answers they must get from the kids. I can just imagine his teacher sitting down to dinner with her husband, laughing over the funny little kid in her class being thankful for moose!
I gotta give credit to The Mayor of Crazy Town for inspiring me on this one. Go check out her Wordless Wednesday Thanksgiving Edition post for more Thanksgiving Day humor!

Why do Canadians have thanksgiving? i mean, what exactly are you thankful for? I might have asked this at the Mayor's place, too. I mean, you didn't steal the Indians land and give them VD. The good ol' Americans did that!
Thankful for moose? Maybe he meant mouse?...or mouth...no no definitely meat, that's what he meant!
This is hilarious!
Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! I'm so envious today because that is my favorite meal too, and now I'm hungry and I have to wait sooo long!
My kids teachers used to whisper what they said to us. They do have great stories!
There are many days I wished that big bird were roasted on my dining room table...also Elmo however I may be allergic to monsters.
Happy Thanksgiving!
LOL Too cute! Happy Thanksgiving:)
Oh I laughed so hard. That was a good one (the moose part). Then I came to the cartoon. You're a sick puppy, you know that? I love that crazy Mayor. She's a bad influence you know. Who wants to be good.
I think I laughed especially hard because my daughter has a moose I appropriately got her while in the Great White North last year. His name is "moose." It's one of her very favorite stuffed animals ever. She sleeps with him. I would guess she'd say she was thankful for moose too. But she'll have to wait six weeks for our Thanksgiving.
LMAO, my rotten little J/K gave much the same kind of answers....she was thankful for "this balloon"...a black halloween balloon she'd gotten at Party Packagers when we went looking for costumes...nice, thnx kid, we love you too! That cartoon is too funny, & thnx so much for the shout out chickie! Hope your long wknd was fabulous, can you believe the weather we had??!!
:-))
Adorable! I might ask my little one that when I get home tonight... Happy Canada Thanksgiving!!
So I remembered the other thing The Baby was "thankful" for...hanging on my fridge is a cross with a Thanksgiving prayer, & a space for them to write what they are thankful for....my 4 year old's says Halloween....yep. :-D
