At my daycare center, during lunch, they'd make us say a simple prayer (though at that age I didn't know what a prayer really was). I thought we were saying, "Scott (God)is great, Scott(God) is good, let us spank (thank) him for our food.".
My mom still teases me about this 20 years later.
A childhood belief about prayers
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that in the Christian Prayer of the Faithful, we were responding, "Lord, harrow prayer."— Smelleanor
- I thought Scott Joplin and Janis Joplin were related. Two musicians with the same last name - it made sense!— Rita
- When I was little, my dad had a friend named Scott. I thought my dad's friend was the king of Scotland— Uhhh....
- "God is good, God is great, lettuce thank him for our food Amen"— pj
- When Madonna sang "let the choir sing" in "Like a Prayer", I thought she was singing "love by proxy"— Kristen
- I used to have to say the Lord's prayer everyday, but I would wonder where my daily bread was.— caledonia
