A Child's Blessing


A couple invited some people to dinner.  At the table, the mother turned to her six-year-old daughter and asked her to say the blessing.  "I wouldn't know what to say," she replied.  "Just say what you hear Mommy say," the mother said.  The little girl bowed her head and prayed, "Dear Lord, why on Earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
