Kids are known to be honest - sometimes too honest - when we ask them simple questions. With Thanksgiving coming soon, we decided to take a look at what they have to say about Thanksgiving and what they are grateful for!

Lily, don’t worry, the best thing about being an adult is that you get to do gross things like eating JUST the dessert all the time. It’s not exactly health and probably ill-advised, but regardless, you get to do it. And that makes us very, very happy.

They are, aren’t they? I don’t think an adult would have the talent to craft such a weirdly convincing argument, that manages to be innocent, aggressive and adorable all at the same time.
