A Little Girl's Evening Prayers
Published Jan 01, 1900
The little girl knelt by her bed to say her prayers as her mother listened. As children often do, this little girl prayed for every thing from apples to zebras. She thanked God for birds and butterflies... and all women. She thanked God for Mommy and Daddy and Grandpa and Grandma... and all women. She thanked God for her brother and sister and her dog and cat and her best friend... and, you guessed it, all women.
When hearing it for the third time, her mother couldn't resist interrupting her prayer and asking, "Honey, why do you keep thanking God for women?"
The little girl, in all sincerity, answered, "Because, Mommy, every time we finish our prayers, we always say 'Allmen and Allmen!"
