Evelyn's first prayer

In an effort to teach our kids how to pray, we start by saying a prayer and having them repeat it.  Evelyn is a girl of very few words.  Even though I've heard her say a variety of words there are very few that she will use over and over.  Here was Evelyn's first prayer:

Me- "Evelyn say 'Heavenly Father'"
Evelyn- "Phone"
Me-"We thank thee for this day"
Evelyn-"Phone"
Me-"Thank thee for our friends"
Evelyn-"Phone"
Me-"Please bless the food"
Evelyn-"Food!"
Me-"And in the name of Jesus Christ"
Evelyn-"Phone"
Me-"Amen"
Evelyn-"Men"

Not quite the huge success in mimicking that I'd hoped, but at least we know what was on her mind... phones, food and Men.
