how not to say a prayer

The other night it was Babs' turn to pray. She resists this. She also resists being reverent during prayers. I have to believe it's not disrespect, but just a lack of understanding. Not that we haven't tried to show her how to pray.

So she starts her prayer with a funny voice. My husband stops her and says, "Use your big girl voice." (Not the first, or the last time, this correction is made.)

She pauses, looks directly at him, and replies, "So we shouldn't pray in a pig voice?"

"No!"

"Okay," and she starts up with her regular voice.
