A 4-year-old boy who was asked to
return thanks before Thanksgiving
dinner. The family members bowed
their heads in expectation.

He began his prayer, thanking the Lord for all his friends, naming them one by one.

Then he thanked the Lord for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all his aunts and uncles.

Then he began to thank the Lord for
the food. He gave thanks for the
turkey, the dressing, the fruit salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, the
cakes, even the Cool Whip.

Then he paused, and everyone waited -- and waited.

After a long silence, the young
fellow looked up at his mother and
asked, "If I thank the Lord for the broccoli, won't he know that I'm
lying?"
