Pray. Amen.

The 2 of us lazed in bed, looking at each other. Chloe was twirling my hair around her fingers singing away while waiting for Simon to finish his washing up in the bathroom.

'Chloe... why are you awake so early?'

'Dadad!!!' She slide down from the bed as Simon walked to the corner of the room to say his morning prayer. Very slowly, she walked towards the little altar too and stood next to him. She put her palms together, just like Simon, and looked at the altar. For that minute, she was just so absorbed and focused at what she was doing. After that, she walked away slowly and climbed into bed again, with a smile.

We were surprised, we looked at each other and was like 'wow'.

'Chloe, you prayed with dadad just now. See, Jesus.' I put her palms together again to explain what was she doing earlier on. I'm not sure if she understood what she was doing but she liked it obviously.

As I tucked her in bed earlier on, she decided that she wants to pray again. 'Pray.' She said, as she puts her palms together. And so we said 'Goodnight Jesus, good night Mary, good night angels. Amen'

'A-may... A-may.' Yes, that was her 'Amen'. The first one.
