I've always taught him to pray specifically.....

***Reminder: Colin is a five-year old, and his thoughts are innocent...I'd ask that you please keep that in mind as you read this post.***

Colin, to his Sunday school teacher (who was teaching on David and all of his brothers):

"Mrs. B, I'd like another brother."

Of course, then Cameron had to join the discussion. "Yeah Mrs. B, and I want a sister."

Mrs. B: "Well, you'll have to let your Mommy know!"

(Ummmmm.....yeah. I know this already. It's a daily request at our house. That, followed swiftly by "Can I also have an elephant?" When faced with either of these questions, I normally have instructed the boys, "Well, you need to pray about that....")

So, Colin thinks a moment, and then lets Mrs. B know: "Well, I think it would be fine to get a brother or a sister."

*pause*

"But.....Mrs. B? I just want a white one, not a black one. Okay?"

Wha?!
