Cupcake: OK, Mr. Newton.

Cupcake: I can try.

Newton: You might be full-grown, but you aren’t grown up. Trust me, kid. It’s really looking dangerous. 

Cupcake: The ball won’t come back. Can you push it back to me?

Pierre: Yes, it’s the food holiday. Like you don’t treat dinnertime every night like a food holiday. What are you thankful for, Cup? 

Cupcake: I’m thankful for being able to go out and make friends everywhere. Especially the baristas who give me whipped cream.

Newton: I’m thankful when Cupcake goes out and she isn’t pouncing on us. Those are the best naps.

Pierre: Newt! That isn’t what I meant by what you’re thankful for. 

Newton: Well, it’s true.

Pierre: * sigh * Ashton, what about you? What are you thankful for?
