Dinner time prayers

I put dinner on the table. It was met with the normal moans and groans. "You haven't even tried it yet," I reminded.

Ian said the dinner blessing. "And Heavenly Father, please bless dinner to taste like pizza."

Since more than half of his chicken and stuffing was on his plate when the dishes were being washed, I'm guessing that prayer didn't make it very far.

LOL...I am glad to know that I am not the only one with children that never eat dinner. Seriously, is chicken that bad? LOL Poor Ian, it has to make you feel good that he has such great faith, right?

Oh, bless your heart. I've been pretty lucky to have good eaters and my heart goes out to those whose wonderful creations get the snub every night.

Oh I love it. And as deflating as those moments can sometimes be, mostly, moments like that are why I had kids in the first place. It's all about embracing the humor.

Katy said...

That's the best!! You'll have to hold on to that one for years to come!

Brimaca said...

Wow! That's a smart kid!

That's just about the funniest things I've heard! Let's just chalk it up to the faith of a child, which unfortunately taught him a valuable lesson. God doesn't answer all of our prayers the way we want Him to! :)

That is the cutest thing ever. I know you probably think he is a pill but oh my that made me laugh.

Can I tell you I hate putting dinner on the table for my five moaners.
