My friend Bob was trying to teach his daughter, Jenny, how to say grace before meals. After a few weeks of coaching, Bob decided Jenny was ready to say grace all by herself.
Jenny started out fine, thanking God for her mommy and daddy and brother and sister and for the rolls and the salad, etc. She ended with a big, "Thank you, God, for the spaghetti!" and lifted her head.
The tradition in Bob's house, though, was to end each prayer with "In Jesus' name, Amen." So Bob prompted Jenny, "In … "
At first, Jenny seemed confused. Then she proudly exclaimed, "In tomato sauce. Amen."

How funny! When we first taught my youngest to say her prayers before eating, she would say them about 6 times throught dinner. Of course at her age all you could understand was "amen", but she would put her hand together and kinda close her eyes, and it was so cute. I told my husband, her food hast to taste better than anyone else's, as many times as she's blessed it!
