Humor: Kids' Prayer Bloopers

Six Innocent Mistakes to Make You Smile

1. From San Francisco: When I was a child, I learned this prayer as “Our Father, who are in Heaven, Howard be thy name.” I always thought it was God’s real name.

2. Groton, Mass: My mother spent her early childhood saying, “Hail Mary, full of grapes.”

3. Missoula, Mont: My son, who is in nursery school said, “Our Father, who art in Heaven, how didja know my name?”

4. Uniontown, Ohio: I remember thinking this prayer was “Give us this day our jelly bread.”

5. Tampa, Fla: When my husband was six years old, he thought a certain prayer was “He suffered under a bunch of violets.” The real words were “under Pontius Pilate,” but at that age, he didn’t know better.

6. Lake Forest Park, Wash: When I was a little girl, we sang a song in Sunday school about Noah. Part of the chorus was “And the rains came down, and the floods came up.” We lived next door to a couple of charming little girls who always sang this song while playing in their garden. Their words were, “And the rains came down, and the spuds came up.”
