Prayer

Tonight Soren said the prayer, but he wanted Daddy to repeat after him. It went like this....


Soren: We thank Thee for my cool car tricks.

Daddy: We thank Thee for my cool car tricks.

Soren: Oh, um, hm. We thank Thee for Soren's cool car tricks.

Daddy: We thank Thee for Soren's cool car tricks.

Soren: And we thank Thee for my tricks.

Daddy: And we thank Thee for my tricks.

Soren: Actually, I mean we thank Thee for Soren's tricks.

Daddy: And we thank Thee for Soren's tricks.

[Ha ha! It can be frustrating getting your thoughts out clearly through another person.] :P

Later in the prayer, Anders screaming in the background.

Soren: And we thank Thee for funny Anders.

Anders: [screams again]

Soren: And we thank Thee again for funny Anders.

Anders: [screams again]

Mommy [whispering]: Anders, we don't scream during the prayer.

Anders: [looks at Mommy impishly then proceeds to scream even louder...the little bugger]
