*Quirks*

*Disclaimer: This is definitely NOT to embarrass anyone. It is just something I smile about regularly and want to note so I won't forget it.*
For some reason, both my little girls, when they are saying a blessing or a prayer, use the following phrase, "..and please bless that no harm will come to fall on us...". I am sure it has developed from some of the rest of us asking that "no harm will come to us" and "no harm will befall us". And it is probably just me that finds it grin-worthy. I just can't shake the mental image that I think they might have of a big, cartoon-like pile labelled "Harm" that is coming imminently to fall on us. And I guess I worry a little that it might be a scary thing for them, so maybe NOT such a cartoony pile. In any case, I think it's sweet and I am glad they know they can ask Heavenly Father for anything. They are asking Him to bless and keep us in their own unique cadence of language. I love it. Even though I have wanted to correct their idea (if they do indeed see it that way) that the world is just waiting to dump a whole heap on their heads occasionally, I have also wanted to preserve their "voice" and not embarrass them for how they phrase things. Also, on a more sober note, sometimes there IS a heap of trouble and harm that might befall us in this world, especially if we don't have such sweet prayers and such sweetly innocent pray-ERS to petition on our behalf. Love you sweet girls!!
