Cookin' bacon for Jesus

My kids love to say grace-but since we are new to this whole religion thing sometimes grace is...uh...intresting to say the least. Tonight grace started an all out fist fight...because someone was "doing it wrong".

Cade- *SCREAMING* That is not what you say! You're doing it all wrong! AVA DON'T EAT YET I'M NOT DONE.

Peyton- Shut up I AM TO DOING IT RIGHT! MOM AVA IS EATING AND WERE NOT DONE.

* Both crying, kicking each other and pulling hair. Ava happily eating. Norm drooling. Amonte oblivious as usual.*

Me-I really don't think God cares what you say or how you say it as long as your thankful. For all God cares you could say "Thank God we're having bacon tonight!"

Cade- Does God like bacon? *sniffle*

Me-Who doesn't like bacon? *semi sarcastic*

Peyton-You don't.

Me-Yeah well I don't count.

Peyton-Does Jesus like bacon?

Me-Sure. Jesus like bacon too.

Cade-Can we say grace again?

Me-Yeah go ahead.

Cade- Dear God, we love bacon. Hear our prayer.

Peyton-And we are thankful for mommy cooking the bacon even though she is a vegetable.

I didn't have the heart to tell him it's "vegetarian". If the lord doesn't like bacon, I hope he has a sense of humor.

  1. bwaaahhhahahahha!! I love it. I love when your blog is new on Bloglines...I always know I'll be reading something that will put a smile on my face. In a few years it'll be so fun for you to look back on all these funny little things the boys say.

  5. So cute! My daughter isn't old enough to say a prayer, but she always hold our hands and bows her head, sometimes she even closes her eye. normally just for a second, then she's saying her version of "Amen" and trying to let go of our hands so she can eat. Atleast she tries right?

  6. I love little kid prayers. They are so simple and straight to the point. They don't worry about using big fancy words (or at least they shouldn't - good job explaining to them the prayer priorities).

    Very funny. :-)
