A Prayer for the Hungry
Baby Name: Parent's Name: Cassandra
My sister-in-law was teaching her 2 year old son to recite ‘The Prayer to the Lord.’ He started with,
“My father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
(so far, so good)
Give us this day, our daily biscuit (oops)
So she asked him to repeat the last line. He said, ‘Give us this day our daily bread-stick’
(oops, again!)
It was only after she had fed him, that he managed to get it right!
Baby in the Stomach
Baby Name: Latika Parent's Name: Gopi Wadhwa
My 5 year old daughter, Latika, wanted to know how I knew that my sister was going to have a baby? So I pointed out her big tummy, saying, “the baby grows in the stomach, and when it is big enough, it comes out.” That evening, we encountered a fat man in the lift, when we went to visit my mother. My little one gaped at his stomach for a few minutes, and then, much to his embarrassment, and mine said, “look mummy, this man is going to have a baby.”

She asked me to come at 1:30 p.m. as she had an appointment with the dentist at 12:30 p.m. When I arrived, he son, Sameer, greeted me at the door saying, “Mama’s not at home.” Although I knew she was at the dentist, I tried to pick up a conversation with this little 4 year old. So I asked him, “Where has your mummy gone?” “Shopping!”, he answered.
