Lunch with Jonathan

Jonathan's school had a Thanksgiving lunch today, and parents were invited to come and eat with their child. I managed to fix my schedule so that I could go, and it was fun. Jonathan was excited to see me there, and lunch wasn't bad either. As I sat looking around the room, I began to read all of the the arts and crafts decorations that they kids had made. On each table was a small pumpkin, with a recipe for cooking turkey stuck in the top of each. The kids came up with their own recipes and directions for cooking them. Jonathan's said, "Cook for 66 minutes on 100 degrees. Take it out and eat it, but you have to say the prayer first." It gave me a laugh.

Another wall had "I AM THANKFUL FOR..." and then each child's picture and what they're thankful for. Most had things like "my mom", "my brother", and "God". But not Jonathan's; his said "McDonalds move it, movie it toys!" What can I say? My boy is an "I like to move it, move it"...er, I mean...."Madagascar" fan!

What's the saying? Oh yeah...he marches to the beat of his own drummer.
