ADULTS!

LISTEN!

Do you know what is happening on Thursday?  Thursday is THANKSGIVING.  You might not know about this holiday but I am here to remind you not to be lazy and to go make me some pie.  (Seriously.  Now.  What are you waiting for?)  I will have apple pie thank you.  Hold the cinnamon because I’m allergic.

Anyway, on top of being a holiday about making food for me to eat (get to work) Thanksgiving is also supposedly about being thankful for things.  I know this because Mommy and I have been reading a book about Thanksgiving called Thanksgiving is for Giving Thanks.  If you don’t know this book, basically, it is about a bunch of kids who are sweeter than a pouch of applesauce talking about all of the things that make them happy.  (Bragging, most like.  That kid who is thankful for his teacher because she hangs his art on the wall and makes him feel special?  Can we say humblebrag?)

So Mommy says that we should spend time this week thinking of the things that we are thankful for.  Like, for example, Mommy is thankful for me.  (Well, obviously.  I’m stinking adorable and everybody loves me.)

Mommy asked me what I am thankful for, so I made a list.

Peanut’s Gratitude List

1.  Cars.  Vroom vroom!

2.  Kitties.

3.  Doggies.  When are we getting one, Mommy?

4.  When Mommy and I go for runs in the stroller and she actually makes an effort to go fast.  Wheeeee!

5.  Wrapping paper.

6.  Book ’ems.

7.  Doggies.

8.  Cheese.

9.  My stuffed tiger and my moose and my taggie blanket.

10.  Oh, okay, fine – Mommy and Daddy and my grandparents and my aunties and my uncle.

11.  Doggies.

Also, Mommy didn’t mention this part but there are some things that I could do without.  Vegetables come to mind, as does the pediatrician, and also footwear.  (Mommy, why do you continue putting sock ’ems and boots on my feet even though I rip them off and throw them across the room every single time?  Can you not take a hint?  Can we not learn from the episode where I threw my boot in Target and you didn’t notice and then we had to go all around the store looking for it?)  So, Mommy, if you could get to work on getting rid of these things and also everything else that annoys me I think I could be even more thankful next year.  Bye bye.
