A 4-year-old boy was asked to give the meal blessing before Christmas
dinner. The family members bowed their heads in expectation. He began his
prayer, thanking God for all his friends, naming them one by one. Then he
thanked God for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all his
aunts and uncles.
Then he began to thank God for the food. He gave thanks for the turkey, the
dressing, the fruit salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, the cakes, even
the Cool Whip.
Then he paused, and everyone waited– and waited. After a long silence, the
young fellow looked up at his mother and asked, “If I thank God for the
broccoli, won’t He know that I’m lying?”
