"I'm thankful for my health, my childhood, and spell check. I'n thankful for the wide range of flavors potato chips come in--mesquite bbq in particular. For platform shoes. For coincidences. I'm thankful for all those people who ever left, in those dishes by the cashier, a penny I later used. That I don't know everything people say behind my back. I'm thankful I was born after the advent of indoor plumbing, and after the popularity of corsets. I'm thankful for insect repellent, nonstick pans, and Velcro. I'm thankful that people in real life don't spontaneously break into song like they do in musicals, and that some weeds look like flowers, and that at the end of a really bad day there is sleep. I'm thankful for maybe."
