About a week ago, we were gathering for evening prayer like we do
(almost) every night. My husband started to pray, but Banana Boy would have
none of it, very unlike him. We asked him what was wrong.
He replied, "I do it."
"You want to say the prayer?"
"Yes"
"Okay."
"YAY!"
We
all bowed our heads and folded our arms to listen to Banana Boy's
prayer. "Deew Henlee Fadder. Tank oo fuh my famee. Bwess Daddy an Mommy
an Mimi an mu bwudder. I wuv oo. Name o Jeesuhs Cwis. Ahmeh."
Translation:
Dear Heavenly Father. Thank you for my family. Bless Daddy and Mommy
and Mimi and my brother. I love you. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
How
perfect is that? That came right from his heart. Both good and bad,
children learn from the example of the adults around them. I'm so glad
to know we're doing at least one thing right.
