Prayers

My Abu Dhabi-based daughter Nicky writes: "‎3 year old Luke Welkner's prayer at dinner time. "mumble...mumble...mumble...thank you Jesus Christ...James and Ben and Lukey and Mommy and Daddy and James and Ben and Ninjas! Amen."

This reminds me of Frances Wright's true story of the pastor's three-year-old daughter running up and down the aisle at church during service, barefoot. She sees a bee, stamps on it and it stings her. To the delight of the entire  congregation she shouts out: "Fokken mot!"
