If I make a Thanksgiving meal I will give it a flying turkey and the turkey ran away. Then I found something dark and it was the turkey so I hurt it and I had a fine dinner but after I ate the turkey I threw up and he returned. So I hurt him again, then I ate him again. Now I am very full. – Yue Pheng, Locust Lane

I would make a turkey and make a cherry on top. Then I would put a magic cupcake, a rat, and a crayfish with more frosting on top. Then dogs on top with a cherry on that. – Landen, Locust Lane

If I was in charge of making my holiday meal it would be a shark and a fish. And of course I would do it in the sea. So I was preparing my meal for my family when the shark ate my fish. Then I forgot I had a ton of fish in my pants pockets so it chased me everywhere. I chucked a cupcake at it and the shark got so mad it almost bit my head off. So I quickly got out of the water. A minute later it floated to the bottom of the sea. I’m pretty sure it died. – Charlie, Locust Lane

I would get some milk for everyone and some chicken and turkey with some yogurt. Then I’d put some sauce on the chicken and ask my dad to put it on the grill because his chicken is the best when it is on the grill. That’s all I have to say. – Taylor, Locust Lane

If I was in charge of my holiday meal I would serve a gingerbread and I would cook it and then eat it. But if he was alive, then I would catch him until I got tired. But I got him, and then I ate him, and he was good. – Chimeng, Locust Lane
