Toddler's Thoughts on Thanksgiving

"Tomorrow is Thanksgiving," I say to my daughter.
"I get forturkey!" Forturkey is how she pronounces Tofurkey. Most veg*ns will know this product. For you omnivores it is a frozen blob of tofu that is enhanced so that veg*ns aren't left out on the gluttony. Fred loves it. I am not a huge fan. My favorite part of it is pulling apart the wish bone. What can I say, I'm superstitious.
M starts rattling off more dishes, that she heard Nana tell her. Yesterday she and M had an hour long conversation about what food there will be for "Fanksgiving." "Thanksgiving is not all about food, we talk about the things we are grateful for."
"Grateful?"
"Yes. Grateful. Like when you are thankful." I try to think of an example at the top of my head. "I am thankful for mommy and daddy," is my quickest and non material example. I do add toy because at the moment she is not thankful for mommy because I just denied her a nursing session.
"I am thankful for milk!" Way to go on hinting, M. "I am thankful for chips, and dips..."
"Thanksgiving is also about spending time with friend and family. We get to see Nana tomorrow." I name Nana's grandchildren.
"I'm thankful to eat chips with E_!" Just as I am typing this out, I realize that M has managed to explain Thanksgiving in one sentence.
