When I was a little girl I heard my Grandfather saying grace. Somehow I got the notion that if you didn't pray "out loud" the devil would steal your prayers!
A childhood belief about prayers
others believed things like this
- there was a young girl i used to know that would say 'onion' at the end of grace, instead of 'amen'— matt
- I used to believe that when I said my prayers, "God Bless..." meant please keep burglars awayAnon
- when i was a little girl, i beleived that women didnt have bums, because i never heard my mom fart. Anon
- I used to believe that if i threw something as high as i could into the air god would steal it.Anon
- ***I used to believe that the candyman was someone who would come and steal your candy or poisen it.— C H R I S T E N
- I was convinced my cat was going to steal my money at night. Anon
