The conversation of this evening's bedtime activities were quite, um... well should we say a little weird. After reading the scriptures and having a conversation about missionaries Matt says, "I'm not a good missionary because I'm a Star Wars Fan"
Then it was time for family prayers before bed. Doug asked Thomas and Thomas said, "I can't because I (hic) have the hic- (hic) cups". So Thomas was off the hook and Matt was asked. Well an argument started because Matt didn't want to. So the bickering started and Doug said, "Just say it Matt, it's your turn!" To which Matt replied, "Only if you bawk like a chicken!" (Of course I can't keep a straight face at this point, but it's a good thing I was reverently folding my arms and bowing my head so no one could see my giggles.)
Then all of a sudden next to me I hear, "Bawk- bawk- bawk! BAWK BAWK!"
Yes, Thomas started bawking like a chicken, and once he was done he immediately (with the hiccups) started in his prayer. (At lightning speed I might add). When he was done, they were off to bed. Doug looked at me and mouthed, "Where did that come from?!"
So, if you're having a problem getting your kids to say their prayers, just bawk like a chicken.

Okay, I'm laughing out loud reading this. That is really funny!
So this is off topic, but we went to Chuck E. Cheese's last week. Kylie kept asking to see your kids. She now associates your family with Chuck E. Cheese.
