Fred and a prayer

 who is Fred?  let me tell you the story.  when we were visiting my parents a few weeks ago, jillian kept saying "mommy"  "mommy" "mommy"  - my dad would say to her - "that's not your mommy, that's Fred".  Jillian immediately replied  "No that's not Fred, that's my mommy".  My dad and Jillian had this conversation at least 2 other times while we were visiting... as she said "mommy, mommy, mommy" - he would say "no, her name is fred".   we were home for about 3 days and driving around town in the car one day, when Jillian says to me "Mommy, why you called Fred?".  I could not stop laughing... .i wonder how long she had been pondering whether or not my name was really Fred :)
 while we were visiting my parents, Helen asked if she could say a prayer at the dinner table before we ate dinner.  We all agreed - fully expecting her to begin with "now i lay me down to sleep" -- because this HAS happened before!  :)  She started out the prayer saying that she was thankful for the food and for her family and then she paused and said "Please Please let us have marshmallows by the fire tonight"..... we all tried to keep a straight face at the table as she finished her prayer.  she could not figure out why we were laughing....
 the neighbor gave jillian some rainboots and she thought she needed her raincoat to go with the boots... you know the story .... If you give a Moose a Muffin :)
