Our Father, who art in Evan

Henry is suppose to start memorizing his first prayer, which seems a little *late* to me. Me, I remember being made to memorize multiple prayers in first grade, traumatized by having to repeat them word for word in front of my classmates, a sticker chart marking my memorization ability, me being in last 'place'. That damn sticker chart hanging on the door taunting me that I was no good at memorization.

Wait... I shouldn't probably say 'damn'.

Darn Catholic guilt.

Anyway, after church today, Henry was in the backseat reciting to us what he remembers, trying to ensure that he is getting some special treat his Sunday school teacher is bringing in for all her students who are able to memorize the first two line (yes, I said 'two'... two stinkin' lines and he gets a treat!) by next week.

The Lord's Prayer per Henry

"Our Father, who art in Evan
Halloween in name"

(gulp)

I think we might need to work on this a wee bit this week.
