While we were waiting for everyone to sit down to dinner, Alyson was practicing "her prayer": The Sign of the Cross. Once everyone was seated, Madelyn started saying the grace as usual. As she finished, Alyson bursted out into uncontrollable alligator tears.
Alyson, bawling: But I wanted to say my prayer!
Me, trying to calm her down: Say it right now. You can have your turn.
Alyson, still bawling: Nooooooo!!!!!
Me: Okay, do you want to say it tomorrow?
Alyson, still crying but starting to calm down a little: Ooookkkkaaaayyyyy....
Me, trying to distract her: Okay, good. Now, do you want your ravioli like that or do you want me to cut it up?
Alyson, suddenly barely sobbing: Cut up!
