Bedtime Prayers with Ryan

“Dear Lord, thank you for this day, and thank you for giving Mommy and Ryan special Mommy-Ryan time tonight…”

“Yeah cause I don’t want to go to Cub Scouts. It’s stupid”

“Ryan we don’t say stupid. Thank you for our yummy food we ate for dinner…””

“But it was just plain old cereal.”

“…that was just plain old cereal. Help Ryan control his actions and have a good day at school tomorrow and not move his clip…”

“But Mommy, I already moved it twice today.”

“…and let him have good dreams tonight…”

“But I have hundreds of dreams in my head, and some are bad.”

“…and help him wake up good for his Daddy in the morning…”

“I won’t. I’m going to be ‘noxious.”

“…and not be obnoxious. Keep Your arms around him. In Jesus name, Amen.”

“Mommy, God likes it when I ‘rupt you during prayers. He said so.”
