Edwin's Prayer

At lunch this afternoon, Joseph said the prayer. As is usually the case, Edwin wanted to pray too. He was very urgent in his desire to pray saying he had something specific to ask.  I never discourage this and waited to hear what Edwin wanted to add. His prayer went something like this:
-Heavenly Father please bless that when we have finished eating our lunch and Joseph and I are playing in the living room that I'll be able to kick his butt.- 

It took all my power and focus not to burst out laughing. I was even able to contain myself while I gave him a brief lecture on the appropriateness of such a prayer.

I wonder how many scoldings I received when I was young were given by a mother who was trying hard to stifle a chuckle.
