prayers from the heart

So every time we eat a meal, Seth wants to pray before we eat. And the reason he wants to pray is to show off the prayer they say at preschool every day before snack. It goes like this:
"Thank you for the world so sweet,
Thank you for the food we eat.
Thank you for the birds that sing,
Thank you for everything.
You may eat,
Bon appetite!"

So on Friday night, Josh tucked the kids into bed and prayed with them. Seth prayed his own prayer and then Josh asked Lilah if she would like to pray. She closed her eyes and said,
"Thank you for the birds that sleep,
Thank you for everything.
You may sleep,
Bon appa sleep!"

We're not sure whether to give her points for creativity or take points away for laziness. =) But Josh was laughing so hard, he had to leave the room. haha....
