Close your eyes


Carter is four. We've been trying to work with him lately to help him be more reverent during family prayers. Sometimes he still struggles with that. One of the things he struggles with the most is keeping his eyes closed during prayer. After family prayer lately, he likes to tattle tell on whoever opened their eyes during prayer. The older kids, tired of getting busted, started asking him, "How do you know who had their eyes open during prayer?" Because he is only 4, he still willingly tattles on himself as well, so he'll usually say, "Because I opened my eyes and saw you!" He's also now realized that this means he is busted too. So tonight he came up with a smarter reply.


Lauryn: "Carter, who opened their eyes tonight during family prayer?"


Carter: "Nobody."


Lauryn: "How do you know that nobody opened their eyes?"


Carter: "Because I have a sensor in my forehead that can see you and it tells me!"


He thinks he's got it all figured out.
