I would eat with Steve Jobs. He is the founder and inventor of Apple Computers. I would eat with him because he created really interesting things. I also would want to get in good with him so I could get FREE stuff! I would talk to him about his ideas and what happened inside his garage. Did you celebrate holidays such as Thanksgiving or Christmas? Did you go to school? Where did you get the idea for the Apple Computer? These are some of the questions I would ask him.

I would like to eat thanksgiving dinner with God, I would thank him for everything he has given me.
Everyone has problems and some people are unhappy because of that, but some people have worse problems and they are happy and thankful.
So I would say thank you to God because I am alive,healthy,and happy.
Another reason I would invite God to dinner is because he would listen to me,understand me,and teach me how to be a better person.GOD IS MY ROLE MODEL!!!

The person I would invite to Thanksgiving dinner would be Brandon Jacobs. I originally thought of several choices, but since Jacobs is my favorite player on my favorite football team, the New York Giants, I narrowed it down to him.
What I would talk to him about is to ask him about his family. I would ask if he has any kids or pets. I would ask where he lives. Also where he grew up, where he was born, did he like where he grew up. I’m also curious about how he got interested into football.
We would discuss his current season and how he likes his team. I would talk to him how/if he will improve on his game. I would ask him about strategies. Maybe if he has any new ones, ones with teammates or his most useful ones. At the end of the dinner I would thank him for coming and tell him how much I support his team.
