Conversations with LMS

nailed by a snowball thrown by daddy

The little miss has been in the habit of praying for a baby sister for some time now. If her prayer doesn't include anything else, it always includes a request for a baby sister :)

The other night after family prayer LMS told me "You forgot to ask for a baby sister!"

I told her "We might not get a baby sister- we might get a baby brother, and mommy and daddy are good with whichever one Heavenly Father sends to our family. Just because we pray for something doesn't mean we'll get it. Even though you're praying for a baby sister, Heavenly Father might want us to have a baby brother."

Hardly pausing to think it through, she asked, "So if we pray for a baby brother, we'll get a baby sister?"

Ohh, we're in trouble! Not even 6 and she's trying to work the system....
