Vitto Learns to Pray

By: Vitto's mom

While in the bedroom...

Vitto:  Mommy, can you get my book outside?  Please?

Me:  Okay, I'll get your book.  You wait for me here.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I suddenly heard Vitto's voice, as if he was talking to someone...

Vitto:  Dear Jesus, please be with mommy.  She's just getting my book.  Please help her hurry up.

As  I went back to the room with his book in my hand...

Me:  Vitto, here's your book.

Vitto:  (face brightens) Mommy!  You made it!  Thank you, Lord!


...And so my Vitto learns to pray...
