Last night at bedtime Olivia wanted to pray. She said a couple quick sentences and then, "Amen." Here, the rest of the conversation:
Me: "Well, that was fast. That's all you want to say to God?"
Olivia: "Yes, that's all."
Me: "But He loves it when we talk to Him! Would you like to pray some more?"
Olivia: "No... I don't want to waste His time."
