fun with prayer

[kend]

This morning my wife wanted some sort of hot cereal.  I dutifully put on the water, put in the rolled 6 grain when it got hot and forgot it.  By the time I remembered it was cooked pretty dry, but not burnt yet.  So I put in more milk than ordinary, some honey and took it in to her.  Then I said the prayer:  "For what we are about to receive, please forgive us".  I thought my wife was going to fall over, you should have seen the look on her face.  Then I explained and gave proper thanks.  She did eat every bite.
