Our kids crack us up.
Here’s how our grace went tonight.
9 year old son: Can I say grace?
My wife, knowing he was going to literally say the word “grace”: Only if you’ll pray, not just say “grace.”
Son: Ok, I’ll pray a real prayer.
We all bow our heads solemnly.
Son: Help.
[Pause]
Me, leaning over toward him: Would you care to expand on that?
Our 6 year old daughter, not missing a beat: Help…everybody!
We all busted out laughing.
And laughter is really the best prayer, isn’t it? 🙂
