We were having family prayer tonight and my 4 year old William was asked to say it. We have been helping William think of things to say in his prayers, because otherwise his prayers pretty much consist of "Thank you for this day" and that's it. So, anyway...in helping him with the family prayer, I whispered to him, to say "Please help us to get out of debt" (something we are working on as a family). He then proceeded to say, "Please help us get to a bed." That did it for trying to keep the reverence. I think everyone just cracked up. It doesn't help either when your toddler gets up during the middle of the prayer and starts singing her ABC's at the top of her lungs and dances. Guess we need to keep working on the reverence.

that's awesome!!! I'm still sure Heavenly Father got the jist of it and I bet he even chuckled right along with everyone else!!!
Oh that is too funny! Love it, we chalked our scripture/prayer routine tonight to consistency rather than content because it was SO obvious no one was paying attention!
