The nice thing about kids is that they are too young and innocent to know how to lie. Thus, everything they say or do really comes from the heart.

As Thanksgiving approaches, the people from The Huffington Post thought it would be a fun idea to compile a list of things kids feel grateful for. The answers they've gathered are both heartwarming and hilarious.

Apparently, kids think a lot about pooping. According to Patricia Galante Webber, she heard her three-year-old son say during his prayer at Thanksgiving dinner that he is grateful for corn "because you can see it in your poop." Four-year-old Mandy Heller, for her part, said she is "grateful for mommy wiping my poop."

When Leah Heffner and her family visited a farm for three days, all her daughter could say was "how thankful she was to have seen a cow pooping."

Meanwhile, Allison Sexton's four-year-old daughter has a funny thing to be grateful for. She is thankful her brother isn't a monster, "because if he was, he would eat her."

When families put up their "thankful three," they asked their kids to list one thing they're grateful for each day. Natalie Reis' 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son enthusiastically participated. So far, her son wrote "trash truck driver, Paw Patrol, drummers, my parents' dog, and the vacuum."

Jennifer Brown Conwell's 3-year-old daughter wrote, "My brother and sister, my new scissors, my Belle movie and Belle dress, my cat Figaro, my bed and blanket, and steak." Conwell thinks her daughter's answers were adorable but noticed that "mommy and daddy did not make the cut!"

Kathryn Dowd Leigh's four-year-old son provided a broad answer, saying he is thankful for everything. However, he isn't thankful for tigers, lions and sharks "because they bite."

And even though mermaids are fictional characters, Becky Miller Albright's oldest child wrote for four years that she was thankful for the magical creatures who live in the sea.
