How do you explain Thanksgiving to a 3 year old?
“A long time ago…”
“Pirates?”
“No, good guys and mamas and babies…”
“And boys, too?”
“Yup, and boys, too. But when they got in the woods they were hungry but they didn’t know what to eat.”
“And they had bears in the woods, and tigers.”
“Probably, but they didn’t see them. So they were hungry and walked around looking for something to eat. And then came the Indians who lived in the woods.”
“With… with bows and arrows and shooting…?”
“No, no. The Indians said they would help them find something good to eat…”
“Like fruit bars and pop tarts and chickanuggets…”
“Well, the Indians said they should have a picnic and so the Indians got some turkeys to eat and they cooked’em and made fry bread and corn on the cob…”
“But no peas, but some cottage cheese and bread and honey…”
“Right, so they made a big table…”
“On the blanket…”
“Yeah, no table, just a big blanket and they all ate and ate till their stomachs were full…”
“And the little boys, too?”
