Thankful people are happy people. This dad's probably not too thankful or happy for his kid's honesty right now.
There is always something to be thankful for--air to breathe, sunshine, to be alive. We can be thankful we're the ones eating Thanksgiving dinner and not the main course. And even though we may not have everything we want, most of us can be grateful that we don't get what we deserve.
Happy Thanksgiving!
