We sat down for dinner tonight, and as always, children were volunteering to pray. Jeremy was sitting with his arms folded the longest, so I selected him to pray. Chloe also wanted to pray, but she was okay with Jeremy praying. She offered to help him, as typically someone else offers to help her pray.
Chloe: “I hewp you, Jewemy!”
Jeremy: “I don’t need help.”
Me: “Jeremy, just let her help you.”
Chloe: “Say, ‘deah Heavvy Favvah'”
Jeremy: (pause…) “Dear Heavenly Father.”
Chloe: “tank you fowr da food”
Jeremy: (pauses again)
Me (whispering): “Jeremy…”
Jeremy: “I know how to do it!”
Still, we thanked Chloe for helping.
