It went something like this:
Mom:  I like children that do their work.  I like children that don't complain and cause problems with their siblings.
#1:  Ah, okay.
Mom:  You have an assignment.  I want a list of 25 things you are grateful for.
#1:  Okay.
The conversation was a little more intense than that but I am preserving his privacy just a little bit.
Here is the list:
1.  I am thankful for books
2.  video games
3.  legos
4.  Scouts
5.  Electricity
6.  Friends
7.  food
8.  Water
9.  Air
10.  A home
11.  clothes
12.  wood
13.  mom and dad
14.  church
15.  Sunday school
16.  medicine
17.  snow
18.  family
19.  science
20.  the world
21.  a government
22.  money
23.  a prophet
24.  animals
25.  school
Did you notice that DH and I came in at #13?  and school at #25?  giggle

Love the list -- gotta use that one two. I think it is pretty good that you made the list being the one that made him write it (he, he!)
or maybe he was just doing it to suck up. I think I will believe your explanation!
I love the list too. I also love that simple "wood" came in ahead of mom & dad.
