Since Thanksgiving is just a week away, Jimmy Kimmel decided to send a crew to a popular outdoor mall in Los Angeles to ask children what they’re thankful for. Some answers are standard but sweet (family, friends, etc) while others are a bit more out there (“Really all plants, because plants give us air!”)
Mostly, though, these kids seem to be thankful, above all, for food and dogs. (Same.)
One precocious kid proudly says she’s thankful for sushi and garbanzo beans, while another says he’s thankful for not flying United Airlines — “I hate them. Always fly Delta.”
