Prayers Run Amok (w/clarification)

I'm currently reading Philip Yancey's, Prayer: Does it Make Any Difference? So far, it is a great (challenging & thought-provoking) read. Pretty sure the following non-fiction prayers are not what Yancey had in mind

Let me clarify. . . After praying for our dinner I looked up and saw that Caelleb had been (and still was) drinking his milk during the prayer. So, I (light-heartedly) added the following addendum to my prayer, trusting that God has a sense of humor.

"Dear God, please help Caelleb remember not to drink his milk during the prayer."

The wide-eyed, open-mouth look on Caelleb's face was priceless. His was completely astonished that I had ratted him out when he added his own prayer addendum to my addendum:

"Dear God, please help mommy not tell on me."
