The blessing

A Dinner Prayer
A family was having some people to dinner. At the table, the mother turned to her six-year-old daughter and said, “Dear, would you like to say the blessing?”

“I wouldn’t know what to say, ” replied the little girl, shyly.

“Just say what you hear Mommy say, sweetie, ” the woman said.

Her daughter took a deep breath, bowed her head, and solemnly said, “Dear Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner!?!”
