"Mommy I prayed fa' them..."
So...we're having lunch with the kid at a restaurant. And...it is "normal" for us to say our grace or say a blessing prior to eating our meals. On this particular day, the kid has already blessed his food (and ours) and we have already begun eating our meals. When the kid turns around and notices another family sitting down to eat. He "studies" their actions, watches them unroll their eating utensils out of their napkins and begin to eat. When out of the blue he SHOUTS....

"MOMMY...THEY DIDN'T SAY DERE' GRACE!"

Everyone at our table (stunned and very embarrassed from his outburst), not knowing what to say or do...we ask the kid to turn around and essentially mind his own business; because, perhaps...they forgot (basically...we ain't prepared for no altercation with nobody! so turn around! lol!)

So instead of him obeying (as he should)...he turns back around, looks at the people (now eating) and begins to say their grace FOR THEM! Yes, he begins to recite his entire prayer for the people from beginning to "in Jesus name we pray!"

After he finishes, he turns back around (to us) and says..."Mommy I prayed fa' them!"

Priceless..."Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he's old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

How many people have YOU prayed for today?
