So anyway, I went yesterday with a couple of picture books and a big bowl of cookies, and the residents were thrilled. After we were finished, one of the residents said a prayer (because technically this is a church meeting thing), and this is what she said, "Dear Heavenly Father. We are SO GRATEFUL for Ann's neighbor. Please bless her, and also please bless her that she will . . . "
Big long pause.
I'm pretty sure the resident wanted to say, "Please bless her that she will keep making us cookies." But apparently that was too naked of a request, so here's how the prayer ended: "Please bless her that she [Ann's neighbor] will keep being an angel on earth."
So nice.

Lol, and then a wheezing laugh. Then a slow, haaa hah haaah... Now explaining to husband across the room what was so funny. Maybe also relating to this lady's prayer. A little. I'm literally going to eat a chocolate chip cookie now,.
I have literally done this. (the pray for something a tiny bit inappropriate out loud in a grouping of people, not the bake cookies and read at the rest home thing.)
