So on Wednesday night as we were coming home from swimming lessons, Leah was playing with her Leapster. She has found a section that gives a preview of all of the games that have been released for the Leapster so far, and she often asks for new games, particularly the Spongebob Squarepants game.
Leah: "Mommy, will you buy me the Spongebob game?"
Me: "Not right now sweetie, but Easter is coming up. Maybe the Easter Bunny will bring it."
Leah: "Yeah!" (Bows head, clasps hands) "Dear Jesus, please let the Easter Bunny bring me a Spongebob game. Please be with him to help him pick out the right game in the store. In Your name we pray...oh yeah, and thanks for Mommy, Daddy and Eli. Okay. Amen."
Of course she's going to get the game for Easter. It's actually in the closet right now. But it's good to know we'll have Jesus on our side if we have any trouble in the gift department. And I'm totally charmed by being a clear afterthought in this prayer.
