Youthful Prayer

Four is the magic number, apparently. You have to be 4 to take swimming lessons. You have to be 4 to take karate. You have to be 4 to go to Vacation Bible School. You have to be 4 to chew gum (in our house anyway). So we're riding in the van the other day and Brenner says to me, out of the blue. "Mommy, I'm done being 3. I prayed to Jesus. I'm 4 now."
