A prayer that backfired

Matt gave a nice family night lesson for our Family Home Evening tonight.  He talked about what our differences and similarities were and how we belong to two families.  Our earthly family and our Heavenly Father's.  We talked about what were some of the characteristics of our Father in Heaven and what we can do to become more like him.  Macey was on a rampage(as always) during the lesson.  She was upset that Maryn gave the opening prayer and she was assigned the closing prayer.  When the lesson was finally over Macey knelt down by Matt and he started the prayer for her to repeat.  She was repeating everything perfectly until he said, "please help me that I can be good." and Macey instead of repeating that very innocently said, "no".

That is awesome!!!! I have a couple of those kind of kids at my house too. They sure do make things interesting and frustrating at the same time.

haha We've had the same thing happen at our house with my son. He will never ask for divine help in being nicer to his sisters!
