As usual, I said a prayer before our dinner and after the "Amen," Beatrice shook the hands she was holding and whispered a strong "Am-eh." But this time, instead of grabbing at the food on her plate after the prayer she grabbed for our hands again and passionately said, "Gack! Gack! Am-eh! Am-eh!" We all held hands and made our best attempt to pray with Beatrice.
"And thank you God for ducks."
Bea shakes her head no. "Gack! Gack! Am-eh!"
"And thank you God for dogs."
Bea shakes her head no. "Gack! Gack! Am-eh!"
"We're thankful for you, God."
Blank stare. "Gack! Gack! Am-eh!"
"Yes, Lord, thank you for that too."
Satisfied. "Am-eh."
