Today's FEEBLE
YOKE:
When the "Rotten Kid" was about five she and I were headed to McDonald's one day. On the way we passed a terrible car accident.
Usually when we see something like that, we would say a prayer for those who might be hurt. So I pointed to the accident and said, "We should pray."
From the back seat I heard her heartfelt prayer:
"Please, God, don't let those cars block the entrance to McDonald's."
