2009 Joke: A Little Boy Asked

A little boy asked his grandfather, “Why do we eat turkey on Thanksgiving?” Grandpa smiled and replied, “Because it’s tradition! Back in the old days, the Pilgrims and Native Americans shared a big meal to give thanks. Of course, nowadays we mostly give thanks that the turkey is on the table and not still running around the yard chasing us.” The boy thought for a moment and said, “So basically, we’re thankful the turkey lost the race!”
