buggy prayers

So for the past few weeks I've been making sure that we have Kendalynn say her own prayers at night when we put her in her bed. I always remind her first that we start our prayers by saying the things that we're thankful for, and she ALWAYS wanders off to talk about the weirdest things. Tonight...this is about how it went.

she skips saying the actual "thank you for" or "bless us so" and all those things.

Kendalynn: Heavenly Father, and that we don't have any mean caterpillars in our house. That we only have nice caterpillars in our house, and that there be no more mean giant caterpillars.
Me: Okay...remember to say what you're thankful for.
Kendalynn: That we don't take the bandaids off our feet so they get better cause our shoes hurt us.
Me: Okay. Thank you for our family.
Kendalynn: " " our family.
Me: Thank you for Jesus.
Kendalynn: " " for Jesus and the farm. And the cows. (???)

After that point she said a few more bizarre things I don't remember, and then I had to help her finish off the prayer with more "normal" things to talk about in prayers.

It cracks me up. The whole caterpillar thing was probably inspired from seeing a dead one outside the church tonight. (which she then waved goodbye to and said "see you later dead caterpillar!") But the farm??? No idea. But she sure is cute.

I seriously laughed out loud at this. Maybe she saw the caterpillars and cows on some show? :)

be glad you wrote this cute prayer down, its adorable and you will be glad you have it recorded. You can always tell what Kendalynn is thinking when she talks, she must have had farms and bugs and cows on her mind during her prayer.
