Reverence Please

It's dinner time and Andrew announces he wants to say the blessing, which he does every night. Jeremy decides he wants a turn. And so the argument ensues. My boys are "fighting" over who gets to pray. I suggest that Jeremy help Andrew say the prayer. Compromise accepted.
Jeremy: Please bless the food.
Andrew repeats.
Jeremy: Please bless we'll have a nice night.
Andrew repeats.
Jeremy: Please bless that Matthew won't hide my Nintendo DS game from me.
(Whole family trying to contain their laughter)
Andrew: Please bless Matthew....(pauses, turns to Jeremy) What did you want me to say?
And then....we all lost it.
