Prayers at bedtime 睡前祷告词

Spending the night with their grandparents, two young boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers at bedtime. The younger boy began praying at the top of his lungs : "I pray for a bike…I pray for a new DVD…"

His older brother nudged him and said, "Why are you shouting your prayers? God isn't deaf. "

To which the little brother replied, "No, but Grandma is!"
