New Year's Eve we went to a friend's house to play games. One of the people there had brought a PS3 with Rock Band. Monkeyspawn and I discovered our love of drum playing. Most of us sang known songs at the top of our lungs. We had to, because the music was so loud there was no other way to be heard. Anyway, we did "Livin' on a Prayer" a couple of times, and Monkeyspawn seemed to enjoy the song. Recently she's started singing it around the house: "Oh we're haffway there. Wooaah-oh livin' on a prayer. Take my hand, we'll make it a square..."
Then one day she asked me if I've ever lived on a prayer. I told her all the time. I asked her if she sometimes just says prayers in her head, not out loud. She said, "Yes, sometimes I just pray and tell Heavenly Father that I love Him." I asked her if He tells her that He loves her back. She said yes.

"Make it a square" is HILARIOUS and so fitting. She made it make sense!
ReplyDeleteThat song is on my ipod. I LOVE it.
And her quiet prayer, just to say I love you is just about the most tender thing I have ever heard. Those things are a parents report card---you know you are doing it right.
