i used to think that the word'amen' was actually 'our men'. so when i was gathered round a table with my rather large christian family, aged seven, and we said thanks for the food, the prayer ended with amen, and i called out at the top of my voice 'and our women too!'
A childhood belief about prayers

- I used to believe that in the Christian Prayer of the Faithful, we were responding, "Lord, harrow prayer."— Smelleanor
- In the Hail Mary prayer, I used to say 'Bless a dark fowl among women' rather than 'blessed art though'Anon
