A Bedtime Prayer

Zeke said, "Dear God, Thanks for people, and animals, and land and oceans, and thanks for wash clothes and sponges; especially that little yellow one named (yell this) SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS!" (which, of course, made me laugh uncontrollably....)

When I finally gained my composure, I said, "Okay, keep praying.") and Zeke said, "Hahahahahhahahahah!"

I laughed again (couldn't help it), but I also got up to leave, and he said, "Hey. I was in the middle of praying!"

I said, (because I wanted to watch a movie and eat a giant bowl of chocolate ice cream) "I have alot of stuff to do. If you want to pray, you have to be serious about it." (Why do we SAY that kind of stuff?! Are we trying to turn our kids away from God!? We want Him to be more boring than ourselves!? Anyway...on to the story...)

Z agreed to seriousness, then said, "God, thanks for water and food, and especially thanks for MR CRABBY'S CRABBY PATTIES!" And we both died laughing and we really WERE thankful for crabby patties, because who isn't!? They are hilarious!
